"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?

Ahaha, yeah, didn't think about that.

Maybe I should edit it...

Yeah, I'll see what he says but his feedback also concerns me slightly, all of the negative ones that have dinted his positive feedback rating have been removed...

Yeah i would be a bit p!ssed off if someone was giving out my address on a forum

hahahaha I love this thread

Wel, if you've got your money, then send him his game ...

I assume 'AFRICA' is the name of his house.

Now if that's his real address take it off here because that's bad. :P

If he has sent you the money then it seems that he is pretty genuine. If i wanted to scam someone i wouldnt start by giving them my money.

Just send it to that address and then its his own fault if he entered the wrong address.

Buying a £4 PO is easier - with odd amounts you have to stick on stamps to get to correct amount in pence. Just cash his PO and pretend you've never heard of him if he enquires ;)
