Hi guys,

Just want to share with you something that happened with me on Ebay.

I have been selling and buying things on Ebay since 2005. But it actually the first time I came across a fraud.

I have been trying to sell an iPhone 6s new one. Of course is not a cheap item. So I put on auction as usual when auction finish I send an invoice to the buyer.

I received a message that he will send money in a minute, but he need to attend a dinner party.

I send him back a reply that is ok.

Thank got another reply... that he tried to send money through PayPal, but something wrong and he offer me to do it directly through PayPal and that he will send me a receipt, or he can send me a cheque.

Well, I do not sell anything costly on eBay without Ebay protection, so I told him this and that I only accept transaction through eBay to be closed.

I got a reply back with F... Bitch...

I wasted my time for auction, i didn't sell the product and will waste another few days to relist it.

SO he had to be reported.

Stay safe online.
