What are those E-Bay auctions selling that list a useless item and state anything else received is a gift?

admin — Tue, 02 Mar 2010 23:51:20 +0000

I’m just curious. Sometimes when I’m killing time, I look at those “really weird stuff” auctions on ebay. What are they selling when they list something such as two matches and then say “I am selling two matches, anything else you receive is a gift” I’m not going to waste my money on these but am curious why people are paying $200 for whatever it is they are selling.

A Pay-pal Scam ? Nigeria Type O Scam ? I Think So Selling Xbox 360 Elite On Craigslist?

admin — Sat, 20 Feb 2010 06:05:59 +0000

Well this guy wanted my xbox 360 on CraigsList… he emailed me asking if I could send it to his brother and he would pay the $400 I am asking for the 360, then cover shipping charges. I used to be a Ebay PowerSeller for years and always got paid through pay-pal… well I told the guy I would sell it to him but would have to wait till I transfered the money through pay-pal to my checking account… I had another pay-pal account but lost some info and was not able to add the same checking account because I had it added to my original account and can not have same checking # on two pay-pal accounts, thats why I mentioned like 3 days to transfer but all of a sudden I get a couple weird looking emails that say…
Dear (Me@MyEmail),
You have an Auction Payment from Kenny Smith for your Craig’s List item(s):XBOX 360 ELITE.
Transaction Date: MARCH. 18, 2009.
Transaction ID: 5Y758872CS5622206
Transaction Amount: $520.60 USD {had it for $400}
Payer’s Email: sanwomi96@live.com

This PayPal Payment has been deducted from the buyer’s account and has been “APPROVED” but will not be credited to your account until the shipment is verified.
Therefore we urge you to get the merchandise shipped to the buyer’s address and verify it by sending the shipment tracking details to us at : service@paypalhelpdesk.zzn.com
This transaction is not fraudulent and you are assured of quality service. We encourage you to ship the item immediately (due to PayPal’s policy) as your payment has been confirmed by us. Security is of critical importance at Craigslist.
Please reply to this email with any questions you may have concerning this reversal.
Sincerely,
PayPal Account Review Department
I am reading alot of the same things happening to other people… but everybody is saying the person has a Nigeria address… this is a New Jersey address… is this the actual address of this scammer ? Or how would he pick up package if I actually sent this out ?
Email came from… “service@paypal.co.uk”
another email was for his shipping info… Dear (PearlMaximaOn22s@RocketMail.com),We received a shipping update from Angelina Speed the buyer of your Craig’s List item(s): XBOX 360 ELITE.
The New Shipping information is as below :
John Smith

Irvington,
New Jersey,
07111,
USA.Address Status: Confirmed We have confirmed and verified this shipping address, therefore we urge to ship the merchandise to the above address and verify it by sending the shipment tracking details to us.
Anyone want to take a road trip…Bring a couple louisville sluggers and get some practice in ? Should I email guy back and let him know I know what hes doing… or actually send a package {with rocks and dirt in it} and give him confirmation number

International Ebay Selling.. Usps Wants To Know Too Much?

admin — Fri, 12 Feb 2010 07:00:48 +0000

I sold an item to someone in Canada. I went to the post office and the lady told me that I had to print out 2 copies of the auction page, and 2 copies of the paypal transaction
I didnt request insurance, and the package is being sent through standard air mail to Canada
Ive shipped things overseas before and I never had to take a photo or anything of what was inside the package. I just thought it was strange? Like.. why do they need to know so much about what Im shipping?
I understand there are new rules or whatever.. but I live in the US and Im shipping something to Canada.. its not like Im shipping guns to Iraq or something
I know it sounds like more of a complaint but now I have to run out and buy a printer just to ship this thing
Is this normal? Does everyone who ships something overseas have to bring this kind of documentation with them?! It just seems a little TOO nosy considering Im not even getting insurance on the item
Its not really a big deal, the item is completely innocent (im shipping a gameboy sp) but I just thought the woman’s demeanor was odd. It was almost like she was mad that she didnt know what was in the package
