I challeneged one of the "suspect scammers" and they were in UK, so why would you buy something unseen and no questions, want your paypal account supper urgently and then have a international freight company rock on up to your house - BIG SMELLY RAT.

Called paypal and they said it was a scam at the moment where somehow they come up with a dodgy paypal account, request a invoice and then they pull out and somehow you are slogged with fees incured, your not paid and machine still sitting at home very very dodgy.

DO NOT USE GUMTREE - ad pulled off

here is a sample of a usa one-
