Says he's paid through paypal (he hasn't)
Now I get this:
You have received an Unpost Item strike.

What do I do? Only sold the thing yesterday

I would have expected a real ebay communiucation to be written in better english tbh - are you sure this isn't a spoof email ?

There's no way that ebay would write to you within 24 hrs anyway - they leave it ages before they would intervene - I am sure this is not a genuine ebay communication

Sounds dodgy! I'd wait until you have cleared funds before posting anything, after all it's easy to see if money has come into a paypal account.

My thought exactly scatterbrain.

agree with scatterbrain

It must be a spoof, it looks so real. Thats for rhe reassurance though

But why ? and who sent it ?

From your title it looks as though the buyer has been deregistered - so maybe he sent it to try and ensure he gets the item ?

If his PayPal payment materialises will you send it ? I heard that people can withdraw Paypal payments so be careful - although I have never experienced this myself.

send a copy of it to [email protected] and see what they say about it.

You need to wait over 10 days before opening an unpaid item dispute so it's bound to be a crock of poo.

and what the heck does 'unpost' mean?

tis nothing but a big pile o scammy nonsense - don't fall for it

did you recieve this through your ebay inbox or through your normal email? log into ebay and see if it is in your inbox. If it isnt then its spoof.

I would e-mail this back to ebay and ask what it is about. Sounds like a scam to me.

so, this guy joined ebay yesterday and bid and won this lot

wonder how many of those emails he's been sending out hoping someone will fall for it and post.

i don't need to list all the reasons why you know it's a fake email - length of time before a dispute can begin, hes not registered, he didn't pay, his English is terrible etc etc etc

Have reported it, or rather friend I was helping has reported it
