All Sellers: I experienced this two years ago. Just recently a person purchased a laptop and attempted to do the same. This person even had a confirmed address with paypal. First lesson, always check their feedback. Look for a good history of feedback not one of just recent activity but a good track record. Take no bids from those with zero feedback without emailing you first. What the scam is, the person will bid on your item send the money via paypal you think everything is great. You send the item then they reverse the payment. This happens every Christmas time. For those of you with high dollar items or most wanted items at Christmas please be careful. Do you homework first, do a search to see what they are currently bidding on if you are unsure under the advanced search icon at the top of the page. Most of all protect yourself and your account and items that you are placing up for bid.
