I'm surprised it took you that far before you decided to cancel the transaction.

Outside of "kaliwaan" or meet-ups, unless you're using a platform such as eBay, you won't have protection selling stuff online.

Very common and typical ang ganyang scheme ngayon Mr. Big. Tinatarget nila kadalasan sa OLX.

Via Email ung transaction at kunwari nasa ibang bansa sila. And interested sila sa unit mo kesyo mura daw or reasons like ipadala mo daw sa kamag-anak nya parang gift nya.

naranasan ko a buyer from abroad says he will buy my item plus pay for shipping

asked for my acct number

few hours later he says already deposited and demands immediate shipping

i checked my acct wala naman pumasok

buyer kept emailing me demanding immediate shipping

sabi ko show me proof of payment wala naman mapakita

May araw din mga yan Sir. Karma is a b~tc~. If may naloko man syang iba, mas grabe mawawala sa kanya

i was also curious and a little bit greedy..malay natin pumasok, the email i gave was rarely used, plus the bank acctn has only 2k pesos..
