A Second AMAZON noob needing help

[satori8311]

Does this look suspect to any one else aside the Nigeria address?
I log into my Amazon.. And it says I have an order pending.. But yet I cant access any information beyond that...

This is my first time selling on Amazon, after being Ebay Exiled.... I edited my own e-mail for security reasons..

Forget it.

Amazon NEVER send you email like that. To view customer address you HAVE to log in to your account and click on the order ID number

[MichaelW]

Also, amazon NEVER disclosed any EMAIL or ADDRESS in the email

[rsot]

Agree with MichaelW - you will see XXXXX has sold - SHIP NOW - did you get that kind of message?

This is the view from my Amazon.com Order Page.. I can not access it any further, mind you it is faded out in color... Not the standard type font as such...

Thanks for the help ;-)

Take note the corresponding Order Numbers Match the E-mail in both Amazon and my e-mail.. Odd isn't it?

When order is pending, you can't see much about it.

[satori8311]

Oh, I think I know what's going on here, whoever this mystery buyer is, decided to perhaps pay with a fraudulent cc? Hence the pending, then shoots me this wimsicle letter, appearing to the untrained naked eye to be some sort of spoof mail...

Crafty them scammers, unfortunately for them, the force is strong with this one!

Thanks for the help ladys and gents...

[rsot]

You beat me to my analysis satori - I figure you are right on about this one.

very dicey...... anything with nigerian in it you can except to get cut up lol

[satori8311]

Since this is a n00b thread, might as well keep it going with n00b Q&A's...

I have hit a in the road.. Or more less a curious questions, as I dig deeper into the Stealth Book for E-bay, there are VARIOUS do's and don'ts I had no idea about.. Now although that information is directed towards some one who has been suspended or restricted,(Great Information To Absorb btw).. Would any of my concerns be valid if I have never had an issue with Amazon...? Or should I take this as blessing that I'm one of the lucky ones without both Amazon and Ebay suspensions, and do the obvious choice of tip toeing.. Minding my p's and q's, prompt communication,shipping, etc.. All the good stuff to supposedly maintain a legit account..
Does that make sense?


@Rsot - My first sale on Amazon happens to be quantity of 3, apple iPhone 4 32gb.. (Brief BackGround)
I have never sold on the site before, only bought, a total of 10 transactions so far...
is this risky starting off big like that same as Ebay? As a new seller? Or should there be nothing to worry about regardless of what i'm selling as long as it goes smoothly.. I have been a member since 2008, included factual transaction details, i.e, cc, real address.. Nothing to hide from them.. Unlike ScamBay who has me on lockdown...

Any and all advice from who ever to whom ever most appreciated
