Dear Baazee,
This is a pressing issue and it has been brought up by many sellers, please look into this.
The problem is that these people are placing orders on the pretext that they are located in the UK or USA and co-incidentally all of them have stores in Nigeria and want us to ship the goods to the stores on CONFIRMATION of the payment.
What exactly is going on is that these people are allies of some western union employees and they get issued fake confirmations, the poor nieve seller thinks that the payment is confirmed and shipps' the goods and there is no sign of the payment, many have been swindeled by their ways and that has given them more confidence to exploit other sellers.
Today I have received 23 orders for mobile phones from 1 single buyer, all in quantities of 2, the baazee ID of the buyer is - mrolusola, the address furnished is -

Just to bypass the baazee registration system they put false Indian addresses and STD codes and place orders and post questions.
I receive close to 15 - 20 questions everyday from these buyers and that too is a nusiance and a waste of time.
They will cook up stories that their wives or relatives are in Nigeria and they want the goods shipped as a gift - WHO IN THE HELL GIFTS 30 CELLPHONES TO THEIR FAMILY !!!!!!!!!!!!
This inturn is messing up our fullfillment monitors and creating problems as keeping a track to file SNC's or end up getting charged the commision for these fraud orders.
This is one of the mails I received from one of these buyers after placing the order -
