Hello people, I don't know if you've experienced this. You get e-mails from diffrent people who want to buy your item(s) using diffrent e-mails addresses, They settle it with you without the bidding process,they'll ask you to remove the item from bidding, They say they'll make immediate payments thru western union bidpay or whatever online auction payments, they'll pay you the correct amount and more, they say they need it as a gift for a brother/sister/daughter and they'll need you to send it to a far-away place such as africa or nigeria. They'll send you e-mail confirmations of payments which are most probably fake. They'll demand shipping because they've made payments. Don't let these evil people take advantage of your good nature.
As they say about the net, "when it sounds too good to be true, it probably is untrue".

At times, eBay users would like to complete a transaction without going through eBay. That's the main purpose of these spam emails. However, it is a violation of eBay rules to offer to purchase a listed item outside of eBay. Similarly, sellers are prohibited from ending a listing to sell an item to a bidder outside of eBay. You can find this policy under both Buying and Selling offenses on our Investigations page. That page is located at:
Taking the transaction outside of eBay prevents us from providing the buyer and seller with the option of leaving feedback. Buyer Protection is also not available on such transactions.
