First off, that is a scam country like nigeria. He more than likely is trying to pay you with a stolen PayPal account. Someone that offers you money for something out of the blue is a scam artist. (1) you dont ship anything out until that money is in your bank account and (2) you always ship to a confirmed address. Dont care who it is or whatever bullshit claim they make. Its PayPal that makes the decision if your scammed not some asshole from 1/2 way around the world. If it gets disputed, then your SOL.

Received this like a few hours ago: "Hello i am very interested in this item and i will offer you $430 for the item with the shipping cost to Malaysia all together and i will make the payment via my PayPal account so let me know if you have PayPal account and get back to me with your PayPal email or you can send me a payment request on my PayPal account email johnsimon96@yahoo.com, you can as well contact me via my email for quick respond (johnsimon96@yahoo.com). Thanks waiting to hear from you via my email - smy0211" Now, my initial reply had my email in it. But then I changed my mind and decided to make him an offer THROUGH EBAY instead with the price he offered with a message: "Hello, thank you for your generous offer. I have made you an offer. Please accept then you may pay through PayPal. Kindly leave me your address, shipping will be done once PAYMENT IS CLEARED INTO MY BANK ACCOUNT. Thank you!" I am now still waiting for a reply. Would love to see the excuse(s) he comes up with :) NEVER REVEAL YOUR EMAIL TO HIM, HE WILL STEAL IT and never deal outside ebay for offers made through messages via ebay.

Got this email yesterday through eBay:

I'm glad I googled his name before going through with it. Please beware. He's still out there trying to scam people.

Yes, always deal through eBay and never ship until the payment is cleared. I got a very similar message from simonjohn4@yahoo.com today. Thanks for posting scams like these folks!
