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.
Thanks Mark for the info.
It appears that the bidder and winner of my item used a bonifide members account to bid with per an e-mail from e-bay.
Seems like E-bay does have some good though maybe not foolproof systems in place.
Thanks again for the advice everyone..saved me a lot of grief. Another reason this forum
