Paypal? fuck them. Unless I know the person that I'm dealing with thruogh this board, I will never use Paypal again. They do not ensure that you don't get ripped off, don't ever believe that.
Exactly, I'm not shipping anything until the money order is in my hands.JustAnotherVictim said:

If the money order actually shows up (and I cannot emphasize this enough):
Go to a Western Union location and CASH it, DO NOT deposit it!!!
Once you have cash in hand, it's fine.
99% of the time the money order will be a forgery. Western Union will catch it if this is the case. If you deposit it, you'll find out WEEKS later that it's bad and the money will come right back out of your account. Trust me on this...

I received a money order from Western Union confirming the money order. Then I get this from the buyer:
Hello,

label,so the label is attached to this mail ,print 3 copies and paste
it on the package and drop the package off to fedex drop off box below
address. And make sure you email the shipment tracking number to

Dude, its the classic scam, and I would just report the guy to ebay and be done with it. These guys feed on your greed. We all wanna get paid for selling something, and generally stop using out heads when presented with a possible sale.
There is no money, you will NEVER see the money or the Xbox again. DONT do it!
Report him and move on.

matt, take all that info and ship him a box of shit... literally! that way you can confirm that it has shipped, and see how far this scam will go.
i cannot believe that after reading the subject of that email you couldnt tell it was a scam. im thankful you didnt send anything out, but you gotta figure out a way to become less naive its only a matter of time til you fall for one if you believed that.
send him tea MKIII's toilet seat, from his new sig. You gotta have a little bit more weight . A toilet seat is about the same weight as 2 xbox's
I had someone try to do a scam on me from a chatroom and wanted me to bill their credit card, which was actually a customers card who owed them money, but they were on vacation in Africa so there was no way to bill it, but I would need to western union the money but keep half for my trouble.
So I went along with it and said I was sending the money that day and I was able to get two complete credit card numbers with names, billing addresses and even 3 digit security codes! I kept them online long enough to call the credit card companies and let them know what was happening and both cards were currently good!
At least I saved two people from getting screwed.

^How do you almost get scammed? Ebay is just fine as long as you use your head. You have to be aware that scams are everywhere. You should also know that they are pretty damn easy to spot. If you see something that is too good to be true (especially on high dollar type items), it's more likely that everybody knows something you don't, than you found a great deal.
MKIV Supras Nissan Skylines, and motorcycles are commonly used in scams. Pictures show a $60,000 Supra, and the buy it now is $8999. Please contact me through my e-mail address, because my ask seller a question is not working.
A Stupid Ass I used to work with sent $3000 through Western Union to a guy in England for a highly modified brand new Hyabusa. He thought it was legit because the guy talked to him on the phone and sounded legit. Damn it if a guy is gonna screw you, he'll damn sure lie to you on the phone too! He planned on sending the guy $6000 more for a total of 3 new bikes. Lucky for him, Western Union called him after he had sent the money, and told him they would not complete the transaction because the guy had been caught in a scam before.
