I sold a listed as broken digital camera to a oversea buyer last week. I sent it off all ok. He's just sent me a message through ebay asking for my personal email address. Is this a scam? He's got 100% feedback

No need for him to have your personal email address. He can contact you through ebay.

It was a highjacked account and caused me no end trouble!

ps, you have been kind to me before under a name change

Ignore him. Thats why ebay has aliases. You will receive any and all email through the site.

can you not set up a new hotmail/googlemail account and give him that? takes about 30 seconds to do!
