Ebay Issues

Postby Jman_898 » Mon Dec 24, 2012 9:49 pm

Hey guys,
Just wondering if anyone here has issues with selling things on Ebay,
Iv got a couple of things on at the moment and i get these emails from people supposedly in the UK wanting to buy, they bull plop about sending funds through paypal with a falsified Paypal invoice (when i check my actual paypal there are 0 funds) and then expect me to organise some freight payment as part of the payment into some account.
This sorta thing sh*ts me because i cannot report them to ebay as they are emailing me via a gmail account or something....
Has anyone here encountered such annoyances and what is the best way to deal with the situation? iv currently reported the emails as phishing scam.

Cheers,
Jeremy

p.s. this sort of thing is why i DONT like selling things on ebay....
