So - I have a spare 13.3" MacBook to sell, having upgraded to a rather nice 15" MacBook Pro.

eBay auction - all goes well, even sells for a little more than I expected - £510.

Except the winner doesn't pay. And then I receive a note in the eBay system asking me to contact him about payment. And then a faked Paypal email arrives, telling me I've received £630 from the winner of the auction, and it'll be fully credited once dispatch of the item has been verified.

B@$%@~d!!! Not only is he trying to fool me into sending the MacBook without paying for it, he's even trying to get me to pay him £120 in a 'refund' for the 'accidental' overpayment.

Oh well. So now it's relisted. I wasn't fooled, but it's wasted my time.

And then after eBay have killed the account, he even sends me another faked email, saying the unless the item is sent immediately, eBay will suspend my account for not completing the transaction!
