I was selling an item on ebay and someone bought it soon my ebay transaction got canceled for no specified reason but the person still wanted me to ship the item to nigeria and he told me that he transfered the money by his NATWEST BANK which will only send the money to my bank account after i ship the item to Nigeria but I know the bank is fake as the contact number is false and they printed a wrong amount thrice.

I had the same problem selling my laptop on EBay and I was scammed 3 times !
Also received a few fake paypal invoices .Don't ship the item ,cancel transaction, write to EBay about what happened and re-list your item.You have to clearly state in the listing that you don't ship to Nigeria ans also China.If you get paypal invoice putting a condition on item ( first you ship, then we'll pay you) -it is a scam.They usually offer you more money than your item is listed for.

If your transaction got canceled, it was canceled by Ebay for a reason (probably fraud). You are NOT going to get any money and you should NOT ship any item. File a NPB alert with Ebay and you will at least be able to get your FVF back (unfortunately you will lose your insertion fees) and relist the item. When the time comes, leave negative feedback for buyer (if he hasn't already been suspended). Also, you should limit your auctions to bidders and countries and payment methods that aren't notorious for scammers (Nigeria being the one of the biggest). Good Luck.

refuse to send ,refuse to have any contact. The transaction was cancelled so it won't look bad for your eBay feedback. You should contact eBay and tell them they still want you to ship the item.They have probably tried it before or will try it again if you don't let eBay know. Tell them you sold it to someone else so they leave you alone.

well if the item was cancelled for no reason , you should have been refunded all ebay fees,
so just dont ship the item to this buyer and you will be all good.
then relist your item and good luck

Avoid doing anything with anyone in Nigeria. Too risky.

Don't trust them.
They may even send you money orders more than your request which are fake money orders.
Ask them for telephone number then call them, but I am sure they won't give any address or tell #.

You should report the buyer to ebay as fraudulent.
