Trader & Shipping Support / Ebay Badlister purchase - updated - false alarm
« on: November 13, 2020, 03:33:11 PM »
Summary: Not a pony sale but a rare vintage plush for over $100, made an offer, then she asked to pay full price on Mercari before accepting a counteroffer.
The request for selling on Mercari sent off a redflag, so after she paid I checked the name and recent feedback.
Name matched a very bad trader/scammer who has been scamming on and off since at least 2000.
Not in Florida where she was last known to be operating, but Ebay address said SC, which isnt far.
UPDATE!! So I mailed 2-day priority and buyer left glowing praise the moment she received it! Gonna chalk this up to a case of mistaken identity, since her name is a bit common.
I know we are all on edge this year too, just trying to stay vigilant.
Safe sales and trades everyone!
