<prompt> Human: So I recently posted an iPad mini on eBay about a week ago. Conveniently, I got an offer to the exact cent requested. Yay!!! So I sent an invoice, with my parents paypal account email because I did not want to have to set one up, and receive a very realistic looking email, supposedly from paypal, telling me that they had received the payment and that it would be transferred into my account as soon as I shipped the item and gave them the tracking number. Here is where it started getting sketchy: there were maybe one or two odd english sentences in the emails and the buyer then told me that he wanted it sent to his son in Nigeria for his birthday. Even though in the eBay post I said that I would not ship internationally he told me to ship it to his son who works in Nigeria and that he is on a business trip so I could not sent it to his house first. He even added 100 to the payment to cover the international shipping costs, which were only 22. This guy even started texting me, horrible english by the way, VERY VERY insistent that I send it ASAP and to be sure that it got there ASAP and to use USPS International priority mail. So me, being the inexperienced, first time eBay user thought he was just some really goddamn annoying guy. Anyways, after shipping it and sending in the tracking number I still hadnt received a confirmation of the payment three days later. So I called paypal and they informed me that the email that the guy had given me was fake and not connected to any paypal account, AND that he had deleted his eBay account directly after it was sent one would think that eBay would have a rule that prevents someone from canceling their account so soon after a purchase because their account is the only way they can be tracked down if something goes wrong. Anyways, here I am sitting on my couch about to smash the computer through the ing wall out of anger at eBay or paypal for not having anything to prevent cases like this. So. People of reddit. Can I stop the package and redirect it back home even if its international? Can I get a refund? eBay credit? Anything so that I dont have to loose over 200?Edit 1:Within the past hour I have called eBay zero help, PayPal almost zero help, and USPS, who told me to contact the USPIS United States Postal Inspection Service. I submitted a mail fraud complaint and then tried to call but they are closed. Will call again in the morning. Keep in mind I shipped it on Wednesday the 13th if that changes anyones mind about anything. The tracking number says it left New York on the 16th and has not reached Africa yet.  <response>: You should not look at this from the angle I lost 200. You paid 200 to learn a lesson.What would you do different today ?Take 2 sheets of paper.On 1 write what you did.On 2 write what you did wrong and what would you to now.That is the value of your 200.You got this cheap, some people paid thousands for the same lesson.
