Yup, that seems legit.

Sounds like a great deal to me. I just got an email from Nigeria stating I had some long lost uncle who had millions stashed at a local bank and I only need to send them $2500.00 to help bribe the money from officials.

Its funny how those people always tell you to end your listings on craigslist even-though thats not possible. Just have a little fun and have them send you a bunch of checks or letter to some address so they will lose their own money in the process. Last time I had them send stuff to the superior court...

Haha nice. You know just last week I had an auction bought out on ebay from another nigerian scammer and learned my lesson about requiring immediate payment on buyout. I had to sit and wait a week (til today) to close the case i had open. Luckily I relisted the item and sold it, but the wait times suck. Nothing but money tied up.

Now if only paypal would release my funds!

My sister's friend is selling her iPhone 3GS on eBay and got an email from someone in Nigeria too! LOL.

They should at least use different country from time to time.

Sunday is actually a fairly common Nigerian name.

Some children are named after the day of the week that the child is born (in English), especially for children born on a Sunday.

I sort of had this same problem when I sold my 3G,
well this was my first time selling on eBay.

Even if you have a debit card on Paypal's website, you still need to verify it in order to receive funds.

check all the emails sent by paypal and ebay, there will be a link somewhere in there.
