The winning bidder contacted me and explained that he was travelling at the moment and wanted me to send the camera to a different location than was listed on his eBay account (which was from the UK). He wanted me to send the camera to Nigeria (instant flag!), and sent a fake PayPal receipt to me for $100 extra for my troubles. I immediately contacted PayPal to verify that it was fraudulent, then I did the same to eBay. Unfortunately, i was unable to offer it as a Second Chance to any other bidders because eBay closed my auction. :( It was very obvious to me that the bidder was fraudulent. Nigeria was the biggest red flag. -- -- Cheers, [EMAIL PROTECTED] MichaelHamilton.ca -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
