they want to send me a lot more than my asking price, then wire them the rest. it sounds really strange to me.

No - yet Western Union could desire to purely be used to deliver money to buddies and family. never use Western Union to purchase something online to to deliver to all of us you do no longer individually understand. Western Union is non-refundable and untraceable. as quickly as that's sent that's long previous and all of us everywhere interior the international can p.c.. up the money with the MTCN variety. that's no longer correct what call or handle is on the slip. you think of you're sending to John Doe in Chicago yet Alex Lee in China or Adewale Eko in Nigeria or Jose Martinez in Peru can p.c.. up the money with the MTCN - and you haven't any longer any thank you to renowned WHO picked up the money or the place they picked it up. And NO thank you to ever get your money decrease back So in case you do no longer individually understand the guy you're sending to, do no longer deliver something. Western Union is the main form of fee for scammers

This is a typical scam.
They will send you a money order for more than they owe you.
They will tell you to send them the difference minus a small handling fee for your efforts.
The problem is that the money order is fake. It is not worth the money it is printed on.
I would refuse their purchase and report them to whatever online servicde (eBay??) you are using to sell your items.

No, no, and NO! It's not a good idea to sell to anyone out of the country; there is no way to verify their credentials. Lots of darned scams goin' on out there. Forewarned is forearmed - be very careful in your dealings.

No. that is a common scam. do not fall for it.
I agree with Mr G - report them to e-bay, and do a second offer to the next lowest bidder.
