Hi, I received the following message on eBay and wondered if it is safe to just send my PayPal email address for payment? " Okay consider it sold to me for £195 and end the auction. I will make payment directly from secure Paypal website because I have reached buying limit on eBay. I add extra £30 which I have confirmed will cover postage through International postage and I will pay total of £225. I want it deliver to my cousin at abroad because I'm currently military camp and there is no way I could handle postage from here.Get back to me with your P-a-y-P-a-l email to pay, Send it directly to my Gmail account benzarafe at Gmail dot com (pls correct it). And include your ebay username or item number so that I can identify from whom the message is coming from you" This person has no feedback on there eBay page at all. Thanks! ... View more
