Default ebay scam!

hey all

i recently sold some things on evil bay and i'm happy as i got my money and got rid of a few things but one of the winning bidders isn't too happy as he never got his product.
i hand delivered this product to a house and received cash payment on the spot but it was not the winner of the auction....
lucky i have the guys address and phone number...

warning if you post you phone number as anyone could pose as the winner and take delivery of the product expecially bad if payment was by paypal or bank deposit and someone walks away with free goods...

Ummm how did it all happen.

The auction ended, and you got a call saying "hey i'm the winner, lets finish off the transaction"???

Did the original winner live at the same house?
