    So im trying to sell my 8 GB iPod Touch for atleast £149.99 (current bid) and i get this message sent to me.

    does this seem to good to be true? i sent my paypal addy to him because ofc people need it to send funds etc but surely someone wouldnt spent that much? -.0

    Glad you worked it out. Never trust anything like this, especially because eBay doesn't allow transactions like this.

    Nah I don't think its even close to being said that its legit! 101% scammer and I would best suggest reporting him to the management.

    i had the same happen to me when i was trying to sell me psp...i had it listed at 250.00 and got asked if i would take 400.00 for it because so guy was buing it from africa for his brother and it was to hard to find
    i got some bogus eamil from pay.pal.com saying i had recived to money...the way i know it was a scam was the paypal logo was pixelated...
    i thinks its happened to me more then once but that was the most recent
