Default Do you think Im getting scammed?

Ok so I decided to sell my Xbox and 17 games on Ebay the other day, starting off at $125.00, thinking Im lucky if I get even $200 for it. So I get a message from someone saying if I end the bidding early they will over me $250 for it, but they will only pay through a Western Union Money order. So I ponder the idea for a bit, and decide to accept it.

So the consumer says they will get western union to email me a copy of the invoice when the payment goes through. So they do, but they email says I need to reply with my fedex shipping tracking number before they will release the money to me. In the email it gives me a western union order number. I checked on the western union website, no order comes up. I called western union and they dont even have the tracking number.

Also in the email it says it was bought my someone in Missouri, but they wanted me to ship it to Nigeria. Which seemed a little odd, I thought.

So I just emailed the person back saying cancel their money order and I was relisting the product. So Im pretty sure it was a scam, just wanted your guys opinion. Is there someone I can contact about this beside ebay?
