[eBay Scam - Someone is trying to trick me in the UK!]

i once paid someone for a mobile phone, £150... never came through.

I threatend to report them to paypal to recover my funds, they sent me a cheque for £150. It CASHED!

By this time I had waited for ages and had already started proceeding with the paypal complaint... that succeeded too and I got another £150 back... he never contacted me again, and he ended up £150 down rather than me.

nice very nice

but, this is the exact reason i hate to buy from ebay can never really see the cash pass threw the hands

oh and id go with the dark irc send all the info you can grab on him and just dump it there
