So, in order to at least somewhat recoup what I've spent on CLs the past few weeks, I put up several Coach bags that I don't use, along with my old 2G iPhone. Interestingly enough, the 2Gs are selling on eBay for like $100 more than the 3Gs sell for at retail.
Anywho... I was so happy when I saw that my iPhone had been purchased!
UNTIL... I e-mailed an invoice to the seller (she has 0 feedback, by the by, and only signed up for eBay late last night) since she hadn't yet paid. And then I got a response saying that she'd sent payment, and even though she lives in CA, she wanted me to ship to her "son" in NIGERIA. Even though I'd specifically said in the auction that I'd only ship within the US. And then I got two e-mails from "PayPal" saying that payment had been made... except when I logged into my PayPal account, no, she has NOT paid.
So I call eBay and explain the situation, and the CSA told me that yes, 90% of Nigeria orders are indeed scams. So I asked if I could just relist, and he said I had to wait 7 days to confirm that she hasn't paid before relisting. BUT I SAID I WOULDN'T SHIP OUTSIDE OF THE US. AND IT'S OBVIOUS IT'S A SCAMMER. WTF?!?!?!?!?!?!
Okay. That is all.
