    Default ebay scam?

    so im just boxing up the decca to send to the buyer and he has his pay-pal address as an argos store in Birmingham,sounds like a scam to me as he only has 1% feedback.

    what do you think?

    Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?

    “Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".

    “You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”

    "You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”

    “There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”

    You must have inadvertently set it up (or failed to deselect) using Argos stores as a delivery option.
    There's a scheme whereby ebay items can be sent to the Argos store of your choice for collection.

    yes lots of places have this service now and very convenient
    ou might slip, you might slide, you might
    Stumble and fall by the road side
    But don't you ever let nobody drag your spirit down
    Remember you're walking up to heaven

    Don't let nobody turn you around
    … Walk with the rich, walk with the poor
    Learn from everyone, that's what life is for
    And don't you let nobody drag your spirit down

    I've chosen this as an option for several items I've bought, handy if you don't think you'll be in to catch the post, and sometimes faster delivery than it states too.

    It might be genuine so best wait and see if he gets in touch, if he does then get his landline number and home address before going any further.

    IF it is genuine he might give you grief for cancelling the sale.
