lol sadly there are naive people who would fall for that.

 

[gomatt]

Yeah, it might have been more believable. But he bought the cards and then a few hours later sent me that email.

Tell him you will allow him to cancel the transaction so he has insurance money and move on.

He doesn't happen to be from Prospect Park, PA, does he?

I would inform him that the Ebay policies strongly encourage a seller DOES NOT mail anything without clearance of payment. Ask him to cancel the transaction and move on. The buyer probably sent you a MO for $1 - wants you to ship before you find out when it comes - and then you are screwed twice.

Here would be my response:
1) **** off!!!
2) Periods and commas are your friend, learn to use them!!!
3) When MO is received, it will be returned to your attention.
4) Transaction canceled due to you trying to renegotiate completed sales, your message has been forwarded to eBay.

Then relist the items and move on, not worth the hassle with this tool!
