 Sorry I didn't see this post yesterday. As a credit card merchant, I'm regularly updated on all the fraud stuff. Never, ever, ever, ever, ship to Nigeria or Indonesia.

Things to look out for:

1) no regard for extra costs involved

2) wants items shipped express; FEDEX/DHL/UPS

3) "free" email address

It's amazing how many times I get orders from a 'non-suspect' country, such as Singapore, then they add in the comments section "Please Send Express by FEDEX or UPS".

Good Luck!

Thanks
Marc

Here's the deal and need advice>>>>>>>>

Sold an item on the 'bay yesterday. (non-watch related) bidder is from UK. My ad says ship to USA only. Not a big deal i added $10 to the shipping fee.

Today I get an e-mail from the buyer and he is in Brazil on his way to Nigeria:shock: He contacted the USPS and wants it shipped there express mail. Will add $100 o the auction price for shipping charges.

WTF should I do? I am going to the post office to check rates, but should I even mess around with this?

TIA for any advice.
