Should have set your item as immediate payment required

retired_hinchmaa

Don't think that would have stopped this.

Just received this email from them:

It stops them from buying your item, they try to scam someone without that option

retired_hinchmaa

But they listed as paid straight away.

retired_swtpe14

They've sent you a fake Paypal email to get you to send the item without paying? Cheeky trick, bet that has worked on a few people.

retired_serenity_0304

happened to me loads really ****es me off, send them box of your ****

retired_princesspouty

I think the **** grammar and spelling of the email gives the game away a bit.

retired_srini_aug1

report them, and relist your item.

And send some **** to them in th post

retired_princesspouty

Or an empty phone housing, with sh!t inside, just for added impact.
