![]() ![]() To be honest, I wouldn't even list that computer on this platform. If you sell your computer at a fixed buy it now price, immediate payment required on NO best offers, hopefully you'll get a serious buyer. You should also revise your listing and remove the best offer. Buyer offers more for your item than the price you have it listed for.-Forget about it, it won't happenĪs a new seller you should accept returns. Buyers says that they cannot pay through the eBay website and sends you a link to click on so that the payment will go through-they're lying to youħ. Buyer wants you to send the item overnight/express and will pay you a lot extra to do this-No they won'tĦ. Buyer asks you to send the item to a different address after paying-again, don't do itĥ. Buyer asks you to buy gift cards to go with the order-don't do itĤ. Buyer sends you a phone number to text/call him/her-don't do itģ. Buyer asks for your email address, Paypal address-they can't pay you directly to PaypalĢ. Here's some things to look for as a new seller:ġ. If the seller is not informed, and knows to INFORM ebay, what happens next is not a pretty sight.ĮBay + Newbie seller + expensive item + freight forwarder + phony claim + fake tracking return scam = recipe for disasterįor your reading this is scam attempt. Buyers that use Freight Forwarders void the Money Back Guarantee, but eBay treats it like any other sale anyway. Having the same shipping address sounds like several people using the same freight forwarder, not actually a problem, but strange is NOT a problem, so long as the seller is aware a Freight Forwarder is being used and knows how to head off the problem when/if the typical phony SNAD claim comes in. Is it normal for buyers to have these types of notes on their profiles? Should I reject these offers? People can definitely have circumstances that would lead to these situations, so I hate to suspect, but I am a little worried about whether the offers are real. I am not sure what to do in this situation. They're not new accounts, they have been on eBay for 4+ years at the least.They also both have notes on their profile to the effect of "please send text/video of the item working to this number". ![]() They appear to have the same PO box/shipping address, which is what is giving me pause.But currently, I have two separate offers from individuals from different countries, one with zero feedback and one with 1 piece of feedback. I know that it is not always a problem to be selling to accounts with little feedback, although it is risky. I know my listing is a prime target for scams (computer) given my inexperience, and I have done some reading trying to be responsible about knowing how offers work and the like, but I haven't found too much information about the question I have: what can you do as a seller to tell if a buyer is legitimate when they don't trip over the obvious red flags, but still make you pause a bit? I'm a new seller and wouldn't normally do this if I didn't have circumstances where I needed to be doing it. ![]()
