Met a faker on ebay

I was going to sell my Toshiba Laptop on ebay. During the 7 days bid, I got many emails to try to pay me over $2000 to let me mail Laptop to Nigeria. I knew they are fakers, so I just ingored them.

I was happy when I saw the bidding amount was rising day by day. Yesterday is final day, and the bid growing from $380 to $600. Finally as guy whose ebay ID is Jazzman06 bid it with $687.

I had a feeling that the guy is a faker after I emailed him after bidding, because he did not reply me. I got a Paypal confirmation that $787 was added into my Paypal account this morning, but it is very easy to determine it is a spoolf email, for the email was not sent from Paypal server.

I decided to make a second offer to the next bidder tomorrow. Unfortunately, that guy called Ebay to cancel the bid for the reason that the bid was took place without the account owner's authorization, and Ebay just removed my list. What the hell this world is?!

I don't know how many fakers on ebay, and I just wanted to sell something. Although, those fakers do not have a deep fake-skills, but what could I do? I cannot find any wrong I did during this trade that could avoid this situation. Maybe I just was out of luck.

Good luck next time! :)
