I called customer services as you advised and I have been scammed, I've called the police and the fraud action line who have given me a crime ref no, I also called royal mail to get them to stop the item being delivered but they aren't able to do this. Any advice on how I can get paid or get my goods back from the scammer? Any help would be much appreciated. Steve

Thanks for the reply, now I'm really concerned I have the buyers name and address and it is in the UK not in Nigeria, I've checked the address on the internet and it is a correct address which corresponds with the buyers name. What can I do about this? Steve

Hi I sold an item on ebay for an agreed price of £690 and received an email from paypal to say that the payment had been made by the buyer and was waiting to be credited to my paypal account once I had a royal mail tracking number. I emailed paypal with this info and had an email back saying all was well and money would be transferred shortly. I then had another email around 6 hours later saying that when paypal tried to put the £690 in my paypal account, they had discovered that the buyer had made an extra payment of £310 (as well as the original £690). As the funds now totalled £1000 they haven't been able to process the original payment of £690 and they've asked me to contact the buyer to ascertain what is going on. I've done this but I'm now very worried as I've posted out the item and haven't received any payment and concerned that I will be left with no item and no money. I have a full email trail from the buyer and from paypal if you need to see them. Hoping you get this sorted for me. Thanks Steve Hayes
