I wouldn't sell a virus to Nigeria
Looks seriously iffy to me. My rule of thumb is if you have any doubts walk away.

just been sent an email from the person.

Hello,
It's my pleasure to inform you that i have sent the payment of your item through paypal. I'm quite sure by now you might have received confirmation from paypal? Please pack the item carefully and write GIFT on the paper description and go to the Post office TOMORROW MORNING to post the item through ROYALMAIL INTERNATIONAL DELIVERY.
However, i would have asked you to post this item to me but, there is no away i can receive the item due to the facts that i got married few weeks ago and i am in honey moon trip with my husband in which the trip might take us 2 to 3 weeks before coming back to home in which i don't want to delay the payment, that was why i go ahead to make instant payment. I checked shipping cost at Royalmail websites to West Africa which was 30.00 Pounds. Therefore, the total amount i paid was 730.00 Pounds which had been deducted from my paypal account. I want you to ship this item to one of my families in West Africa for is coming BIRTHDAY that will hold soon. Am really sorry for the inconvenience this might have because you, kindly help me out. In addition i encourage you not to use any postage service except ROYALMAIL INTERNATIONAL DELIVERY. I think the shipping tracking number starts from either RI or RJ ends with GB.
Note: I will hold for any responsible that might happen to the item on transit. Please do not declare the value of item at Post Office. Once you have post the item, kindly email the the shipping details to me. Am counting to hear from you shortly.
This is the Postage Address in West Africa.

DO NOT SEND THAT WATCH TOMORROW OR ANY OTHER DAY.
It's a scam, for the love of god. This should be the only clue you need. LAGOS - NIGERIA
Even if you get the money in your account, do not send to this person. It will be reversed within a week I bet.

Are you for real
Like others have said it's a scam. Once paypal realise there's no funds or a stolen CC the funds will be removed from your account.
When you next list it you might want to specify where you'll post it to.

LAGOS is the most corrupt place in the world, you wouldnt send a shit in a box in fear of it coming back to hit you in the face at a later date!!
DO NOT SEND!!!!!!
I cant believe there is people around that are still taken in by these mugs.

I had trouble once when trying to sell a mobile. The idiots tried to call my bluff on 2 occasions & only cost me money in listing fee's!! Buy it now seems to invite them. Make it an auction with a £700 reserve & they should stay away.

I think he should send a tag made out of bog rolls or something, with a biro face and certificate of authenticity, written on a KFC knapkin.

well i got an email back from paypal saying this
Hello daniel roe, Thanks for forwarding that suspicious-looking email. You're right - it was a phishing attempt, and we're working on stopping the fraud. By reporting the problem, you've made a difference!
