"Confused over Ebay sale..."

Right, some guy has bought this off me on Ebay:

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll? ViewItem&item=8215759449

And he emailed me to say that he was paying by cheque.

So today I get a postal order for £4.00, and i can assume it is from him because I've had payment and evidence from the three other games I have sold.

So, firstly, why has he payed me £4.00 instead of £3.90? And why a postal order and not a cheque as he said?

Secondly, I've looked at his address from his email and it is as follows:

Edit - Yeah, Im an idiot.

Africa? and Essex? WTF?

The Postal Order is stamped as from Harwich, Essex, but why is Africa in his address if he's living in Essex?

I've emailed him today so I'll see what he says but is this a scam?

Harwich aren't full of the brightest people. Nan used to live there and they all seem to be farmers without the sheep!

Oh well done munn, my dreams of seeing a goverment agents ebay feedback has just been shattered. You sick, sick man.

You need to make sure there's not a space between teh last character and the start of /URL

Ah, I know what the problem with mines was, not that there was a space (which I had deleted, but I must not have copied the 9 at the end of the link.

That's all.

I still don't know how you do that.

Yes, I've removed the space but it still says its too long even if i put it in a URL tag.

it's because there was a space you bunch of idiots

Entered it again and it works now.

I don't understand.
I think there's a problem with your link - not my "CLick Here"ing
