Hey there, i have an xbox up for sale and several people are asking me to post the items to other countries and they will pay me postage fee's and the price of the item via paypal. Are they trying to pull one over on me?

gumtree is meant for local face to face trading

if western union or moneygram is mentioned they are at it

if they are out of the country 99% of the time they are at it actually 100%
