Re: Should I ship the Saint to eBay buyer who changed address right after the sales took place?
It’s been shown that the person sending the messages is a known scammer. The person who bought the coin most likely is a legitimate buyer that is not connected to the scammer. We even had a person on this forum who was a legitimate buyer but had this same scammer try to steal the coin (the seller-also on this… -
Re: Should I ship the Saint to eBay buyer who changed address right after the sales took place?
People seem to be missing the fact that the person sending the message to change the address has nothing to do with the sale. There is a group of scammers (or the same guy) with a bunch of 0 or low feedback accounts that send messages like this to multiple sellers after a high value item sells. Ignore the message from the… -
Re: Should I ship the Saint to eBay buyer who changed address right after the sales took place?
If one wants, they can call eBay. What kind of advice you’ll get, I don’t know. The case is pretty simple from what can be seen. * Real buyer with confirmed address buys item. * Scammer sees a bunch of expensive items sold and messages all those sellers to try and steal the items. -Scammer is a known entity who multiple… -
Re: Should I ship the Saint to eBay buyer who changed address right after the sales took place?
Like I mentioned, there are steps to take-like contacting the real buyer first. A knowledgeable scammer wouldn’t pull something this basic. You could cancel the sale, lose a real buyer, and then relist only to run into a smarter scammer (like one who won’t send a message but just pull an item not as described or return an… -
Re: Should I ship the Saint to eBay buyer who changed address right after the sales took place?
This would penalize the real buyer. They have nothing to do with the scammer. Yesterday was also a bonus bucks day, so the real buyer could miss out on earning the bonus all because of a scammer. Like I said before, let’s say I bought a coin from you and paid with a confirmed PayPal address. Then some scammer unrelated to… -
Re: Should I ship the Saint to eBay buyer who changed address right after the sales took place?
Under your scenario scammer is contacting sellers after they have made the sale to another ebay buyer who paid using the actual buyer's valid papyal account. Very plausible, but seller should notice that message to change address is coming from a different ebay user ID. If it's coming from the same ebay user ID then the… -

You may want to send the scammer a chocolate coin with the gold foil wrapping. ;) I can think of something else that is the same color as chocolate to fill a box with and send to the scammer. Do any of your neighbors have a big dog? -
Re: Should I ship the Saint to eBay buyer who changed address right after the sales took place?
I wonder if eBay would at least yank the scammers ID (a temporary solution at best). PF should tell the scammer she sent it as requested and let the vermin think he is getting free gold. >:) -
Re: Should I ship the Saint to eBay buyer who changed address right after the sales took place?
Again I wouldn’t cancel the transaction until the real buyer replies. This could have been you or me purchasing a coin we wanted for our collection. Before the seller printed the label, a scammer (with a completely different eBay ID) sent the seller a message trying to steal the item. I would like for the seller to contact… -
Re: Should I ship the Saint to eBay buyer who changed address right after the sales took place?
Reports (from scamming links) that I have read on this culprit indicate that he uses a (0) feedback ebay account to make contact with the actual seller. Is this the case of the incidences you mention? The legit seller should notice the ebay user ID requesting the change of address is not the same as the actual buyer. If…
