Title: Another eBay Scam email...
Post by: GGKoul on October 23, 2005, 10:54:13 am
I just received this...

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hi,

I am contacting you regarding a deal on eBay. I am a new user and i have 0
feedback. Iwould like to know if you can help me selling an item on ebay because
i saw you have
a positive feedback.I am asking this because i am afraid i could get scammed,
since i am a new user. In exchange i will pay you 20% from the total amount, in
case my item will be sold.If you agree let me know and i will provide you the
pictures and the details of my product.

Email me back if you agree.

Thanks


Chris

Tell him sure, just send the item(s) over to you and you'll be happy to sell them on e-bay.  Once you receive payment from the buyer you'll happily forward the money (less your 20%).

Yeah, he's afraid of being scammed, so he goes an contacts a complete stranger to help him sell something. That makes sense.
