    security question
                     

    I recently listed an expensive watch for sale (first time I've tried to sell anything). Some one who says they are interested has asked me to send him a short video of the watch and I am nervous about doing this. I am worried he is a scam of some sort. Wouldn't I have to send the video through my personal email? I really don't have experience in this and I'm feeling nervous. Any advice from any one would be so appreciated. Many thanks.

    Carolyn

    Do not send anything through your personal email address. Scammers use this to send you fake payment notices and get you to ship the item without being paid. The proper way to do this is to make the video part of the listing. You need to be using the web version of eBay and in the photo section of the listing should be a place to add one video of the item.
