They wrote 'dis' instead of 'this'. I would not deal with them on general principle.

If your not sure about this interested party then just ignore their offer. If i was in your shoes i know i would. If it looks dodgy it probably is.

Their English is broken but the name Grace Queens sounds like an English, American person etc.

Looks dodgy if you ask me.

Hi Miss UK,

Simple answer is if you send anything to a non confirmed and verified Pay Pal address even with proof of sending they can reclaim the money from Pay Pal and you lose. Sending items abroad is even more risky but again requires a confirmed address and verified Pay Pal account with tracked and signed for postage. My advice is simple if in doubt just don't do it.

@miss UK - There's a saying in the MILITARY . . . 'When in DOUBT - KILL!' But here I guess it's appropriate to SAY that: 'When in DOUBT . . . - never mind' .

It's ringing a few alarm bells for me too, I suspect it is some kind of scam, sounds dodgy!

I've fallen foul of shipping something to someone who hadn't confirmed their address with Paypal, they did a chargeback on me a few months later, and I lost purely because I'd shipped to that unconfirmed address. I'm more careful now!

Wouldn't do it, if I were you.
The fact, that the buyer talks about the "item", instead of "phone" or "Nokia" makes me think of the emails, we get from those friendly people, who want to pay us a large amount of money, to ship the "item" to their 80-year old aunt in Nigeria .

Also, she's willing to pay the asking price, this seems abit dodgy, on older phones, people usually bid a lot lower.
