Just had a seller make a purchase using an ID that was made today asking for delivery confirmation, saying it will be a Christmas gift...sounds legit, normal?

I thought someone was messing with my auctions.

Why would you sell anything on eBay without using delivery confirmation?

Reap the whirlwind.
Need to buy something for the wife or girlfriend? Check out Vintage Designer Clothing.
Says it is a Christmas gift. She lives in CA and her paypal has a different name and lives in NC.
I printed a label for the paypal address and have DC with insurance...hopefully everything will be OK.
I guess that's about all a seller can do...

Good question. A seller I've purchased from 10+ times has never used delivery confirmation. A few of the shipments were $100+, and he charges $5 first item and $1 each additional.
I guess they make more money off it, postage - DC = Higher profit margin.
I use DC on everything I send.

I always use DC, it is cheap insurance.

Possible she set up a new account just to send the item straight to the "giftee" and wants to make sure it arrives on time. She could just be a noob who's worried about the gift arriving in time.
Of course, that story would also be a great ruse.
