If someone asks you to end your item early with an offer to give a significant amount of money for your expensive item and gives you an address over seas DON'T AGREE! I almost fell victim to this type of fraud. I was even sent a very convincing email that looked like it was from paypal. Apparently these people just "buy" your expensive items and have it shipped over seas where it cant be tracked and pretty much steal yo shit. Watch out for these! just a warning for the homies

haha you fell for one of those?
my policy is never ship overseas and don't end the auction early unless it's on here or tgr or for a friend or something and only ship to confirmed paypal addresses that way you have seller protection if the douche decides to be douchy and douche you out

Same thing just happened to me. Got a message asking to end the auction early and got the fake but legit-looking paypal email. I was really suspicious though so I checked my paypal account and the payment request was still pending, and no money was in my account. I hate fuckers like this. Almost sent him some hate mail, but decided to just let it go...
