I posted my iPhone on eBay starting at 250 dollars, fair enough right? Then I watched it go up with 8 hours left to 260, then w/ 5 hours it went up to 290, and then it went up to 399, and I was extremely happy because this would pay for the new iPhone. Then all of the sudden I clicked refresh and $1,225 appeared on my screen. I thought my eyes were deceiving me, but I looked at the bids and it really happened. Two people got in a rapid bidding war, and the winner won with that much money! Now I'm wondering if I should use it on the new iPhone AND an iPad, or just save it. :D

You're about to get scammed.

Well I thought the same thing at first, but they had a ton of great user reviews. I'm obviously not shipping until I get the money though. How long should it take for a response/payment?

you're supposed to specify in the auction.

some require immediate payment while some are willing to wait up to a week.

Ok thanks... Do you personally think this is a scam? I mean you can look at the auction and see her reviews...

+1. In a few days/hours your going to get an even better miracle offer.....he will pay you $2000 more if you send it to Nigeria. You better offer a second chance to the next most plausible bidder (m***r for $300)
 
That buyer has only bid on 7 things total, all which have taken place in the last hour. It's a scam.

But if you do happen to get payed, that would be the time to get excited :)

Send the buyer an invoice asking for immediate payment. Expedite your pain.

Thank you for the suggestion... I'll surely do that! I think I should give the person who bidded 380 dollars a "second chance."
