I also had similar experience. I had my laptop on sale and it was purchased by an Ebay member registered in UK , but he wanted his laptop shipped to China. Ebay shut down the auction , I guess they were watching him. I put the laptop back on sale and this time it was bought by a member registered in USA and wanted the laptop shipped to Nigeria.I refused to sell to him/her because I clearly stated in description that I don't ship outside canada and gave him a negative feedback.I had no idea that there is so much scam going on on Ebay and we all have to be very careful.
