Ebay scam?
I'm selling a ps2 with 10 games on ebay. This is a used ps2 in good condition. This is my first time selling it to ebay. one person sent me a message telling me this. do you think this is a scam? "Dear seller, I am a marketer of used and new mobile phone products,Video games,Ipods,laptops and their accessories. I am interested in this product if it is working well. I want you to sell to me right away if possible by taking it off the auction. I will like you to ship it directly to my customer abroad who needs it urgently. I will make a payment of $350 for the item and $150 for the shipment via USPS EXPRESS MAIL. Mode of payment is Paypal. Reply with your full name and paypal address if you will sell to me so as to make proper arrangement concerning the payment in good time. My email address is XXX, Mr Jack" if it's true, it there anyway to get a money first safely?

- hello i would contact ebay and find out what they think kinda sounds like a scam to me just off what you typed but if you go to the ebay website and click contact us it is a live help link where you can talk to someone online immediately and see what they think and get some advice from them hope this helps good luck!!!!
- Yes, it;s a scam. There are tons of ways of wording that particular paragraph, but it's all the same. A third party is always involved and these people always offer you more money than you're asking. I sold a few things on Craigslist and had this or the same offer sent to me, with every one of my items. Be careful.
- According to EBay's guidelines, this is not allowed. I would check this person out, Ebay has the ability to do this. I am surprised that this person would approach you in such a fashion. I would cross all my i's and dot all my t's before I would get excited about this offer.
- SCAM BIG TIME, report it to Ebay, or wite the guy and tell him you will ship the package only after his payment has cleared your bank.
