Question about auction

[Scott 74]

I just sold my JTK2 on THAT site, but the buyer has just registered recently, has no feedback, and is from Nigeria. He is trying to send me a Western Union money order as well. Of course I am naturally a little skeptical of the situation, but considering he has no negative feedbacks, and hasn't done anything out of the ordinary yet... I really can't hold anything against him. Basically I'm just looking for tips, or advice I can follow to make sure no funny buisiness is going on??

correction I think it's just a little wierd he's talking like he needs the guitar in his store asap, and refers to me like I own a store. Plus the Western Union money order hasn't been approved yet, and it's been roughly 5 days since I got the initial email he was sending one (from Western Union)?? Not sure how long these thing usually take, but I thought WU was instant, snap of the fingers fast

Western Union does send Money Orders if you choose that method of payment, I would recomend not shipping anything until you cash it at a Western Union agency so you won't have to worry about your bank coming back on you for a bounced check, just in case. If they won't cash it don't ship until it CLEARS in your bank account.

Obviously this buyer was not paying attention to the auction as well cause it is clearly marked: ships to United States & Europe, and last time I checked Nigeria was not in Europe

I will contact him now, and tell him it's a no go cancel the money order then relist! Oh well teaches me to be more specific on my auction details. Thanks guys appreciate it
