Look out for a guy named pm35 on Ebay….?

Im trying to sell a item on ebay. Well I specific put free shipping and will
ship only within the United States. It even says Free Shipping with in the U.S.
So I check this morning and this guy or person named pm35 from the U.K. used the buy it now choice. But when
I click send invoice, It gives me a Nigeria address.
(Hes Got a Nigerian address when I send the invoice but
It says hes in the U.K. when I click his name)
Which gives me a immediate red flag.
So I look up his zip and Nigeria in the same sentence
and this site pops up saying Fraud.
Apparently there’s people that use the buy it now icon
or bid on high priced items and try to use this thing called western union bid pay or something.

I immediately canceled the transaction after I read it
This is the response I got..
I still feel its scam

Should I be worried about having my identity stolen?

This is the first time I’ve been able to sit down and relax since 8:00 this morning.
Who wants to hear about my day?
Okay, so a few days ago, I posted an ad on Craigslist selling my portable DVD player and 3 Disney DVD’s. A woman named "Judith" replied. She said that she was interested, and that she would pay me 0.00 + the cost of express mail international shipping. Everything looked legit. Then I got an email from Paypal stating that I’d just recieved an instant payment from her. It stated that I had to ship the items, and then email proof of shipping, and that then my paypal acount would be credited. So, this morning, I went down to the post office, packaged up the item, paid the in shipping, and emailed the tracking number.
THEN I started reading things on the internet, and realized that I was being scammed. I was freaking out, because my boyfriend warned me of this, but I shurgged it off, and said it was okay because I got an email from paypal. I went and looked at the email from "paypal" again, and saw that the email address that it was sent from (small, in bracketts) was not paypal. It was something like shipping.proof@consultant.com or something like that. So, I sent the emai to Paypal, and they emailed me back and said that it was a phishing email. Right away, I called my Mom. She said to call the post office, and then go pick up the package. That’s exactly what I did. I got the package back, and my money back, and I sent this so called "judith Pope" a nasty email. It shoud have been a red flag when she said she wanted it shipped to NIGERIA. For some reason it wasn’t. My parents also lended me each so that I can buy healthy foods still.
I love my parents. I love Andree too, but I hate that he always has to be right, and most of the time is, so I think I’m going to keep my story for the day to myself. From now on, I only sell through ebay.
should i be worried about my identity being stolen? the only info they have is my first and last name, my address, and my email.

Can you license a book like music? Does that prevent people from reselling it? Legal / Copyright Issue?

My husband bought a real estate how-to book and it has this warning in the front:
"All of our materials are protected under federal and state copyright laws………. All matierals you buy are licensed (or, in the case of other author’s works, sublicensed) to End Users and not sold, notwithstanding use of the terms "sell" "purchase" "order" or "buy" on the Site. Your license is nonexclusive, nontransferable, nonsublicensable, limited and for use only for you, the end user, and you ONLY. That means YOU CANNOT SELL, TRADE, COPY, ASSIGN, LEASE OR LICENSE YOUR RIGHTS IN THESE MATERIALS."

Now, I understand what that means… but is it actually true? I thought a copyright was a copyright… and not a license. I thought a license was something that came with music and movies. People resell books all the time… entire industry of reselling books… So what’s up with this disclaimer? Is it valid? How do you make something ‘licensed’ instead of just ‘copyrighted’? How can I verify this ‘license’ exists? Does it exist just because this page says it exists?

Nothing in the book (which is really just a binder full of photocopies that they made and sold) actually says the usual license warning stuff that’s on the back of CDs and movies. All it says is ‘Copyright 2005 All Rights Reserved".

The reason I want to know is because, without having read this warning, I listed it on eBay and the ‘copyright owner’ keeps having it flagged down, saying I’m not allowed to resell it. It’s driving me nuts. I feel like I got scammed…

If it matters, this is regarding the book "Apartment House Riches" by Dave Lindahl. Hint… do not buy it if you plan on reselling it once you’ve read it.

How do i use my own "custom" checkout instead of ebays checkout?

I want to use my own checkout. Also does this create a "RED FLAG" between ebay and paypal if i have a custom checkout and 20 to ,000 through my new verified paypal business account? My ebay account is NOT new if this makes any difference. The reason being, i dont want paypal to know im collecting from my ebay account, for some reason whenever it has something to do with ebay the get "FREEZE" happy and want to hold funds, but i do not ship my items until the payment has been sent to my verified bank account as i will now state in all of my auctions. Its getting easier for crooks to buy then turn around and file a despute which usually gives them their money back.

Why does eBay restrict certain items?

Ok I am a seller on ebay. I sell, from time to time, items that "offend" people, such as German WWII items. Why is it that I can sell pictures, books, movies, stamps WITH the swastika but if I try to sell a flag or uniform piece WITHOUT the swastika it gets pulled? You can buy 12" military figures that have the Swastika, you can buy stamps with it but not uniforms and flags? Why? AND what gets me more is that I am selling to the US only. In the United States of America which is where eBay is based. Why do they bow down to the PC elite that is taking over this country? Why?

Does anyone know where I can buy this program about Lake Geneva Raceway?

On the Wikipedia website, Lake Geneva Raceway has a page and at the bottom this program was referenced: Lake Geneva Raceway Souvenir Yearbook: Checkered Flag Final Season 1963-2006. I was wondering if anyone knew where I could get one. My boyfriend was a photographer there and I know he’d love it. I’ve been checking ebay pretty religiously for the past like 6 months and haven’t seen it. Any suggestions?

Can you help me with polyester, types of polyester, and screen dyeing?

I’ve been to virtually every Google result for custom flags. I want a flag with a logo that is 3×5 and printed on polyester, the polyester flags that I can buy on ebay (nation flags, state flags) for a piece, NOT NYLON. I have lots of nation flags and they usually have three polyester types, a stiff one, a less stiff one, and one that is really thin and not stiff at all.

Where can I find someone who can give me a quote on a flag like this that is obviously wholesaled from China. I just want a logo on a few flags, the background can be white or a color. The logo has like 5 colors, red, blue, yellow, and gray (I assume white isn’t a color in screen dyeing?).
The three types are completely random when I order nation flags.
