Its the item you are selling - and scammers will notice you are inexperienced.

If you post, use a full tracking system, and one that will get you POD and be able to show you signature. Guard this with your life for 12 months.  Recorded delivery is NOT enough.  Special Delivery **MAY** be enough, but many couriers allow you to ask for the actual signature.

I had no end of trouble with ....... nigerians bidding on my phone last time i sold one.  "i send you £5000 and you send me phone and £4800 cash..." yeah right you money laundering toe rag  >:(  

Ebay and paypal are one and the same, they have no regard for your safety whatsoever, so long as they make an extortionate amount out of everybody they're quite happy to take the money and run.  

Their recent feedback rules review has exaccerbated the problem of bad buyers even more I fear.  Now there are only bad sellers apparently  ::)

Thats probably the best way to save yourself grief.  Also keep a copy of all correspondance handy just in case. (emails and print outs)  There are some Scum buyers out there.  All the best.  :y :y

I would expect that buyer to want to pay his original bid price of £150, as it would be the other bids that would have pushed his price up. :)
