	Heather. Just relayed your post to my son who has been on Ebay for over 5 years. Says don't go ahead with the order. Contact the seller and ask for his phone contact details and speak to him direct. Someone here in N Wales was in court this week after scamming loads of people for laptops they never received.(have to add wasn't my son) Lol Di

	I bid and won a quite expensive item yesterday on ebay. I noted that the address on the listing was a bit strange, New York, UK. I had assumed a typo somewhere along the line. When ebay confirmed my win, they gave the sellers address as Tottenham, London. I then had an invoice from the seller giving their address as Berkshire. Now, may be I am being overly suspicious here, but why would these addresses not concur? I note the seller has been on ebay for 5 years and seems to be selling as a business, so probably bona fide but I still feel uneasy.
