Have i been scamed???

[simonssneakeraccount]

I placed 6 seperate items on ebay for sale, all with a buy now price totalling AU$1500.00. Someone brought them, I was extatic. Then an email message came through stating the seller is in New Zealand, not Australia where I'm based. When I checked the seller ID it is for someone in the United States. The total price and different locations have me worried. I have sent off the invoice and request for payment and am now waiting for a reply. If this all falls through do I get my fees back? This is my first time ebay selling and so far I'm pretty nervous.

Thanks

Just some friendly advice, you have dodged a bullet this time but perhaps you should stick to low value items that are easily posted until you are more experienced, scammers target new sellers who list expensive items as they know they are much more likely to get something even if it is only a valid email address which they can send a phishing email to months later.
