SCAM! SCAM! SCAM! I would run from that "sale" as quickly as I can. You'll end up second guessing your second guesses. Warning signs for a scam are: High value items that can be easily resold on the street or at a pawn shop. An omega watch or an ipod/iphone certainly qualify there. Poor english grammar Wanting to pay with a check or money order Sending more money than was agreed upon (I know, it sounds impossible, but it happens with scams) Let me stress again, the poor english grammar. You have only one alternative in which you will still be protected. Have the buyer pay you via Western Union. I don't like Western Union either, but if a buyer is willing to put his cash on the line through WU and you get your cash, only then can you ship to a "probable scam" without losing anything. You can also openly call them on their bluff. "Your communications with me are very suspicious and I think you are trying to scam me." They almost never respond to that. In my 8 years of online sales, I have never accused someone of being a scammer and been wrong. If they are legitimate then they can have a dialogue with you and help to make you feel comfortable about the transaction. If not, run away from it.
