Dear Sir,

Please don't ship your product to Nigeria until you get the payment in your hand.

But as per your Nigerian Buyer, You don't get any thing.

Report the buyer to eBay

Also Report Unpaid Item to get your Final Value fees

VERY IMPORTANT !!!

what email you received from western union is not from them but a free wire services use
if you ship item you loose both item and shipping cost
when you received email like this emejectly report ebay and they take action against buyer and suspend her/him
