Then you get sent a Fake Paypal Receipt.

I really hope no-one gets stuck by this idiots.

and then what? If you said nothing would they send around a courier to pick up the board?

or do they send you a receipt for more and ask you to send them the 'extra' money back as cash?

It could be a good chance to send back sold old rubbish and some pieces of paper with $50 written on them

turn the tables on them, ask for a small deposit on the board, a show of good faith, someone else is interested in it etc before u send the 850 for the courier, if they are dumb enough to send it(cash only) say thanks ssucker and buy a new uni or something.
sounds similar to the ones from africa about money owed to u , just need to send them some first.
if people get sucked into these scams they are greedy and deserve to be taken for a ride.

There is a similar scam that they try on motels. They book a number of rooms for substantial mount of money. Pay for it with a skimmed credit card and then cancel the booking (offering you a cancellation fee) then have you return the money via Western union account (untraceable)

I reckon it would be the same with your board. Use a skimmed card on a dodgy paypal account then do the same re the refund.

Make good shark burley those blokes[}:)]

I get these weekly, somebody wanting to book 10 people for 4 weeks of Windsurfing lessons in August???

Thanks for putting up what happens next I was always a bit curious how they would get any money out of it.

The weirdest thing of all is that they find enough suckers to make it worthwhile to keep doing it.
