Some Things I've Learned

1. If something seems too good to be true, it probably is.
2. Be suspicious of Ebay buyers that want things mailed to Nairobi, Africa
3. Don't order a new camera until the cash from the old one is in my hands
4. Be careful of scammers

So yes, we were almost scammed with our camera. The buyer was a fraud and sent us a fake PayPal confirmation email saying that the camera had been paid for. A few things did not seem right in the format of the email and I am so thankful that we did not ship the camera. We called PayPal and confirmed that it was a scam so everything is ok and he did not get any of our information. BUT, since we thought we had received payment I ordered the new camera that was significantly on sale (and ending soon.) So, now I am just praying that we can sell the camera soon and to a legit buyer. In any case sometime this week we will be the owners of 2 Nikon Cameras! Ugg! Oh the joys of Ebay.
