    Bought a copy of Nero 7 from a bloke on ebay last fri. night-impulse buy after night out:o
    Next day I noticed the auction was worded a bit weird, 'what WORKS, unsled' after the title.
    Fair enough, the blokes not an english speaker by default...sent a message asking if collection was possible, and was it a genuine copy(I know, should have asked first), etc. got a curt reply along the lines of 'you must pay now', nothing else.
    So I replied payment was not an issue, can you please answer my questions & got a similar reply, still noreply to my questions.

    Few hours later, 'collection ok', followed shortly by 'steel waiting for payment'....

    Am I being over-cautious or does ths sound a bit dodgy? Gut feeling is something is wrong, seems to be a lot of scams about.

    What do you lads think?

    If I want out, whats the best way, and will it affect my feedback-can the other guy leave feedback if the sale does not go ahead?

    Thanks.

    It seems like hes being very demanding with the money. :) I wouldnt touch it, but you agreed to the sale when you purchased the item. He could leave you bad feedback but if you can go and collect, make sure its genuine.
