Dear ****8

We will need the tracking number for eBay item #******** that was purchased by Mrs.Kate Bill for verification in order for the money to be sent to you. The company has now set a policy that the tracking number must be collected from any seller before any money is sent to the seller,Under normal circumstance we ought to send the postal order to your address before the shippment could take place but due to some Seller's that will recieve payment before the shipping and neglect the shipping of the item.So this is the more reason why we request for the shippment tracking number of the item before we will can relaese the posta money order . We assuring you that your money has been deposited by the buyer of your item into our company here and it is 100% safe with us, the reason for this new policy is to protect our clients as we have had prior experiences of fraudulent activities of some sellers and and we are doing our best to stop the activities of these nefarious characters.In order for us to succeed we need your help so we can join hands together to fish out these extremely unscrupulous individuals who parade themselves as legitimate sellers on eBay.We have decided to implement this policy strictly and without exemption to any case because of the numerous cases we have recorded in which the seller refuses to send the item(s) after receiving full payment for said item(s). This policy would protect both buyer and seller.We protect you(seller) by ensuring we receive full payment from the buyer and in that same vein the same honour must be provided the buyer by ensuring that we,as the middlemen have full details of the item(s) in question which in this case is the tracking/reference number from you so that we can verify its authenticity.It is important that you understand that the money is already with us and guarantee you that your money will be remitted to you on acceptance and verification by us of the tracking/reference number.We advise you in your own best interest not to give this information to the buyer so that we can makesure everything is done in the proper and legal manner.We thank you for your understanding and co-operation with us.

Your's.

Encounter this hard stubborn buyer online. Tell her the deal is off when she dont agree with my terms but she keep coming new email saying she will pay,

and i recieve this..!!!!

 

For any sellers who selling on the net....i will strongly advise you not to send the item over..Hmm..for those buying online..hmm you must know is always a risk buying from oversea private sellers

 

Guess i will stick to buying and selling online locally when is between private buyers/sellers.

This happened to me too...

An easier way would be to use paypal for transactions, whether its receiving or paying money.

Paypal is it applicable locally? I am contemplating using Vpost, supposed to be able to buy anything on US websites that ships free in US to designated Vpost collection point (2, one California, one Los Angeles), from there they sent it to Singapore Singpost and deliver to your house.

 

So the fraud is limited to the US company selling the product, delivery is confirmed safe. Maybe avoid private sellers would limit this risk more.
