This is an excerpt from an e-mail I just received from BidPay:
"....FRAUD ALERT! Lately there have been a large number of attempts to purchase items from eBAY sellers and (cnahge the address for delivery) to have them delivered to an address in INDONESIA. If you get any such request PLEASE DO NOT SHIP THE ITEM and please send an email message to us IMMEDIATELY.

There is a well-organized fraud ring in Indonesia using stolen credit cards.
They will bid exorbitantly on high-value merchandise, ask for the fastest shipping possible to get it in transit before the theft is noticed, and seller eats the loss.
