• Hi all,

    Have item on sale and within a short then anticipated time frame, i received the message below.

    "Great! please consider it sold as i am willing to pay your full asking price because i need to buy it for my cousin asap, i have read through the advert and i'm totally satisfied with it,sadly i would not be able to come personally to collect due to my hearing loss and I'm just recovering from heart surgery so I'm home-bound.
    I would appreciate if you email me with more photos (if available) since i'm unable to see it in person.
    I have a courier agent that would help me to pick it up at your preferred location after you have received your money and i'll pay you via PayPal today."

    ... What could go wrong, right? O_O

    Has anyone experienced similar stories, followed by no payment / troubled sell ?

    Any advice or stories appreciated!

  • It's been mentioned previously, it's likely a scam.

    Buyer will send a courier then claim they've not received it. Paypal will ask you for proof of postage which you won't have because it was the seller that arranged the courier. Buyer gets refunded and keeps item.
