more than likely the accounts are hacked...happened to me...file with ebay, and attempt to contact the buyer through email. we worked things out, retracted the sale, got my listing fees back, relisted, sold and went on my merry way

That's fucking retarded. Holy shit.

Report these to eBay, get your listing fees back, and try again. :hs:



Try stricter listing filters like "ships to US only", etc ... see what your options are. :hs:

WTF

Is it someone just trying to get you to send it there and it is the wrong buyer?

Yeah I have the strictest setting...ships to US/Canada only, no buyers with neg feedback, no buyers with unpaid items strikes.

Here was the auction: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...m=250086463638

And the second one: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...3415&rd=1&rd=1

I tried to file a claim but ebay says I have to wait a week...by then the market will be flooded with these things since I bought it at BB yesterday for $435 incl tax and everyone else is going to be doing it now. Should I relist immediately? How the hell do I avoid this?

I would even go as far as saying you must have 5 or more positive feedback.
