London Fixed-gear and Single-speed

I just got this message from someone looking at an item I have for sale on Ebay: 'give your email for paypal cuz i must send money via paypal i have some problems with pay normal on pay pal'.

I told him I only want to complete the transaction within Ebay, using Paypal. It pays to be suspicious in these circumstances I reckon. Has anyone else experienced anything like this or have any idea what, if he is being dodgy, he would be hoping achieve by his actions? It just seems really odd.

my paypal was playing around the other day, i had to send requests to get paid???

But isn't that what happens automatically from Ebay when someone wins your item?

It's totally legitimate

not back in Aus!


i'm a nigerian general, i want to send you some money....

See that's what got me thinking about it being a bit dodge. Their grasp of English is about as good as each other as well!

can't see any harm in sending them only your e-mail address

Don't they already have your contact details if they've won your auction?

I will wire you the monies directly, sah.

if he is actually your cousin, like he says he is, then surely there's no issue?

"give your email for paypal cuz"

and isn't the whole point of email stop that is not a telegram stop so is much easy to write stop unless you are retard stop must wire funds stop have lumbago

eBay is full of dodgy people, specially brazilians, they are the worst kind!

Would you give this man your paypal details? :p

WIth those breasts? He can take my credit cards!

He hasn't even won yet, that is the problem. He's trying to do things outside of Ebay by the looks of things, which they strongly advise against. I told him to get lost anyway and he's not been back yet.

Ha ha, problem is he's not from the good side of the family so I need to tread carefully.

man, that dodgy moustache :P

..i would, but only if i was drunk...

...give him my paypal details, of course ...

Is he wanting to "wire thee moniesss"?

Just swipe down the cleavage sir.
