Sequence:

1) Buyer pays full asking price for a ASUS 7970 DCII gpu. (Never happens in reality. There is always haggling)

2) Buyer has a feedback of (1).

3) Cancel sale because of bad address. Grin

4) Till now no PP phishing attacks.

5) Within 24 hours receive very convincing email at paypal address with all the proper paypal regalia, stating that account will be canceled if account info is not updated. (Coincidence?)
