Yeah they always ask if they can use their credit card "directly" and I really have no clue what the heck they mean by that..

And they are all anti-paypal.

I only punch in the numbers...

I got tired of it and put a filter on my ebay email to delete any messages that have those countries in them.

I have gotten sales from Africa and other places that have been totally legit.

I did have an actual scammer try and pull one over, I actually passed it onto to the other sales guy I worked with since it was wholesale.

The guy ordered about $10k in GSM cellular phones to his house, COD, and printed a bunk check to give to UPS.

UPS man was teh idiot, and accepted it. UPS than later went and raided the house and recovered 95% of out phones.

Ebay scams are teh suck!
