to an address that is not his confirmed paypal addy. I replyed I only ship to confirmed paypal addys for his protection and mine and requested he update his addy with paypal. Any one have past experience with this?

    Yeah, and with our very own Musca!

    Read about it here

    Kinda worked out alright, but then he came back and screwed over a lot of other members.

    The buyer may be buying it as a gift for someone, but it's always better to be safe than sorry as the seller, especially on expensive items.

    Last month. I sent an email for which I didn't get a reply stating it was unconfirmed but I'd shoot it out anyway if there were no objections. It was to a jewelery store so I felt O.K. about it. Tracking said it was received. Left them +feedback. They never bothered to leave any, but that's going to happen more nowadays. It was a $300 coin.

    This would send my Spidey senses tingling more than ever with the new seller-unfriendly feedback rules, but in reality if it were a low-value item to someone with a solid history I'd probably do it. If it were a higher-ticket item or if something just didn't pass the smell test, no way. But it is easier to get negged with no recourse for that now.

    For what it's worth: I've done this once before and you might consider contacting one or two of the other sellers. If I were on that list of other sellers I would have no problem giving you the lowdown on a buyer! Just an idea. image

    Yes, once every month or two. usually it is innocent. Remember, innocent buyers don't think asking for alternate shipping is a mortal sin. But some are scammers and it's up to you to tell the difference. I once shipped a gold coin to a hotel to meet the purchaser at a distant wedding for a last minute wedding gift. I called it right and all were happy. Just don't get it wrong or else fail conservative while being polite. There is no need for a red frowny face. --jerry
