Scammer

[coco123042]

Pretty sure my items been purchased by a scammer and sale won't be completed. Sale was $600, how do I make sure I don't pay the sale fees? And can i just relist now?
Thanks!

Yes, the bidding history would indicate the buyer of the Samsung phone is a Scammer.

Have no further contact with the SCAMMER.

Phone eBay through Customer Support ( top of page) and they may refund your final value fee without the need for you to open an Unpaid Item Case.

Any emails you receive from the Scammer about payment will be FAKE.

Beware of spoof/phishing emails you may receive .

Don't open them and don't click on any links.

Run all your spyware, keylogging and virus protection and change your passwords regularly.

Be sure to have these buyer blocks in place. Go to:

My eBay > Account > Site Preferences > Postage preferences > Show >
Exclude postage locations from your listings from your listings > Edit .......and Select the countries you don’t post to.

Tick … Apply to all current live listings
Click …Apply

And

My eBay > Account > Site Preferences > Buyer Requirements > Show >
Edit .......and tick:

1. Buyers in locations to which I don't post
2. Block buyers who haven't gone through phone verification…
3. Only apply this block to buyers who have a feedback score of 5 or lower(Having a Paypal Account and / or Credit Card details on file overrides this block)

Tick all other blocks of your choice.

Tick …Apply above settings to active and future listings.
Click …Submit

It's not recommended that you sell an item like this as a Buy It Now or with a Buy It Now option although you could require immediate payment. That doesn't prevent a Scammer paying with a stolen credit card though.
