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?

He's probably just a Nigerian prince or something. Nothing to worry about here.
Didn't postal orders used to be called postal cheques?
Anyway you have your money so send off his stuff. Jeez!

Maybe hes foreign and 'cheque' and 'postal order' mean the same thing to him.
He probably named his home Africa because he was missing his homeland or something.

Well yeah but why was Africa in his address (Yeah it probably is the name of the house or something) and why say your paying by cheque and then make a postal order?
How can it be a scam if you've got the money you wanted?
