Once tried selling a $1k camera via eBay, with the no international buyers caveat.
First day received a purchase order with an address to a derelict house in Detroit followed by a private message to please send the camera to an address in Africa. Took about a day to cancel the order, and eBay still demanded a cut for this non-existent, fraudulent transaction.
Second day receive a virtually identical attempt, only this time eBay refused my cancellation. Attempted to fight it, no avail. Received a variety of indignant messages from the seller claiming I was some sort of scammer. Once again eBay demanded a cut of this bullshit transaction.
I logged out of the account and sold it via Amazon in about a day no problem. eBay is a joke.
