I am getting royally fucked off with them at the moment.

I'm trying to flog my Dad's old mobile for him and am now relisting it for the third time.

The previous two times it's been won by people asking to send it to africa despite it clearly saying that I'll ship to the uk only. I assume it's some form of scam but can't see how they benefit from it. Anyone know?

On the bright side after my rage has settled the emails I got were pretty funny....
