    Just checked, this was a fake email. (NIgeria is always a giveaway :)

    Don't be taken by this guys, if someone sends money via Paypal, they cannot demand a shipping number.

    I sold a person with Ebay ID Pricben112 a mobile phone. His details said he was from Romania, but asked me to ship to nigeria aswell. I recieved an email from a fake paypal account that asked for the tracking code. I gave it to them.

    is this normal of paypal? do they usualy sk for tracking numbers. I am new and this asshole got me.

    If you don't use paypal, then what DO you use? Isn't paypal the most widely used payment processor on ebay?
