You'd think the fact that he mentioned Nigeria at all would have set off warning bells though.
But it does bring up a good question: Why does it seem like so many scams are (or claim to be) based in Nigeria? What makes it such an attractive destination for wealthy princes and companies offering 'once-in-a-lifetime' opportunities?

I already mentioned I sent it to Birmingham but, hey, doesn't stop me being judged apparently. Another perfect start to the week.

If you don't to get the shit ripped out of you either don't post that stuff here, or don't do stupid stuff. Honestly, the first mention of Nigeria should have led you to contact eBay about a scam and cancel the sale. Nigeria is notorious for phishing scams.

Saturday.
James Lance needs more work, he's fantastic
Really fucking suspicious with that tracking number, man.
Here's your action plan:
- Go to Royal Mail, find out why your tracking number doesn't work. If they can provide proof of delivery, great, if not then demand to claim through their insurance.
- Go to the police. Give them the tracking number you got from Royal Mail (along with the proof of delivery if it exists). Also give them details of the address you sent to and any correspondence you've had regarding the item. Get a crime number.
- Inform PayPal and eBay of all that's happened. Give them the crime reference number. Chase up on whether they're going to refund you the final value fee.

To be fair it's a really shitty thing that's happened to Cyanide and it's not very nice to take the piss out of someone when they're down, no matter how stupid they've been. He posted about it here because he wanted help, not abuse. So everyone just give him a break yeah?
Props to the people actually giving good advice and trying to help, especially Mike once again, our resident hero.

Suspicious may be the wrong word - I just mean you need to check up on it & find out what's going on with. If your tracking number doesn't work, Royal Mail are accountable.
But yeah, it might just take a couple days to go live.
you just lost your chance with musha now brah. but come to me, we can hang out.
eBay have said if no payment is received by Friday, then I can close the dispute and claim a Final Value Fee of £345.99. That will then take a month to go into my eBay account which I can then transfer to Paypal, then take another 3-5 days to transfer from Paypal to my debit card. In the mean time, though, I'm still phone less. Unless, and this is just more stupidity on my part, can I claim a new phone from O2/UK, still get the £345.99 and then sell the new iPhone?
I feel so fucking useless.
I feel so fucking useless.
I'm not saying I will but that phone is classified as stolen. My insurance covers theft.
You can claim on insurance (with a crime reference number you'll get when you report this to the police), but you'll have to tell eBay about that.
With that, you'll have to pay your excess (if there is one) and you'll get a new phone
You can then sell THAT on eBay, but check your Paypal account for verified payment and wait for it to clear into your account before you ship it (and never ship to an address that isn't sent to you with your Paypal payment confirmation email)
edit: also Paypal clear funds into your account within 2 hours nowadays

You would be making two claims for one stolen phone. I would strongly advise against it. Just do what Chinner said, get a cheap phone until the eBay refund clears then get your Nexus 5.
Shit taste in adverts mate.

So, more Northern? Ok, cool.
One weird thing about the Royal Mail is that they have two pages for tracking details:
http://www.royalmail.com/track-trace
and
http://www.royalmail.com/trackdetails
Sometimes when I've imported something I've founded my tracking number works on one but not the other. Wacky old Royal Mail that.

YOU FUCKING BEAUTY
The bastard collected the package from Birmingham depot. FUCK YES.
I COULD FUCK YOU
Here's the plan. Give the fucker until Friday to pay. If he pays, fine, I'll take the payment and leave it be - but I will post negative feedback on his eBay. If he doesn't pay, I have substantial evidence (statements on Paypal, emails on system, the working tracking number showing he collected the package) to lodge a claim at the police station and I'm sure they'll track him down. eBay and Paypal will have more evidence to collect a payment too.
Honestly, man, I owe you so much. You going to the Christmas meet? If so, I owe you a drink or two. I already owe Dave, Mike, Musha and Ninja a drink. It's gonna be a friggin' good night
