Am I about to somehow get scammed on eBay / Paypal by a wierd buyer?
quarterback:
I think what's probably happening is that this organization is either fully legit and is distributing pdas to underpriveldged people in Africa.... or they're basically reselling pdas over there for a profit.
Hopefully I'm not selling my item to unscrupulous characters but they won the auction and paid up, so I'm going to send them their goods.
Do you guys think I should wipe my address book and personal information and stuff from the PDA before I send it?
;D

What? How are they going to get in touch with you when they need to transfer large sums of money out of Nigeria after the king is wrongfully deposed?

Paranoia sucks, don't it?
The scams usually involve "oh I am moving, so can you send it to THIS address instead?"
I sold a game on Ebay within an hour of posting it, to a guy with zero feedback and the name "exconnery" (get it... EX CON ?) Made me worried but the address checked out and all was fine. Just a stupid choice of name from a new Ebay user.

If the moneys in paypal you should be ok. (I'd move the money out).
People are funny on Ebay..... sometimes having a BIN is just to tempting to
pass up for people who keep getting outbid. They'll pay extra for the BIN.
I also get skeptical when people have weird delivery requests, but it
seems like you have the bases covered.

Yes. I'd do that even if it wasn't being sent to some weirdo. Of course if you meant it is a joke, then what I meant to say was... :laugh2:
