<{POST_SNAPBACK}>I sold a wii bundle on ebay, and i got a email from paypal saying that i got new funds of $550.00 which is how much i sold it for, and it was pending untill i shipped it, when i did ship it i got an email saying that the buyer got overcharged of $200.00 Which all together would be $750.00 now the buyer wants me to send $200.00 to her cousin in nigeria and then paypal would give me the 750.00, something sounds not right over here?
What do you think?
It is a scam.
What should i do?
What is in your Paypal account? Did Paypal overcharge them?
Matt
So far i dont have anything on my paypal, and yes apparently they did
Do they have the Wii?
Have PayPal collect the $750 and then refund the $200 through PayPal. Contact PayPal, it is possible to get a live person on the phone, (I have done it and they were very helpful contrary to what you hear) and ask them what to do.
When you log in to PayPal at he very bottom of the screen is a Contact Us link.
Under no circumstance should you refund the money yourself. Only work through PayPal. Only contact or reply through PayPal. Do not exchange any personal or bank information.
Matt
Im on the phone with them right now, and i shipped the Wii yesterday....
One other tip for the future. Get a Post Office Box, they are cheap, and use that as the shipping and return address. Keep as much of your personal info private as you can.
Good Luck and don't let this experience turn you off to online selling.
Matt
I would like to say that i got scammed, and now i have to cancel the shipment, and hopefully i can..........i am really angryyyyyy
I'm sorry to hear that but as a learning experience to others can you share the details?
