    Ah, see what you mean - I thought the fact he had a Chinese name/e-mail address made you think it was less legit - it's likely he's a foreign student if he's not a dodgy type.

    Just noticed the payment was from a different name to the person I am shipping to too.

    Yes, more than likely he is a student.

    Just don't know why a student would need so many ipods

    maybe selling them locally if he is getting a good price
  • I am more worried of chargebacks or maybe he is using a stolen CC to pay with?

    All he has bought are ipod nanos which is odd plus him wanting it bu Saturday seems odd too
    Stolen CC is the easiest to defend against as you only need a proof of posting. Bear in mind they can do this up to six months after so keep it safe.

    I would think as they asked about refunds they don't really know what they are doing if they are a scammer anyway, since it doesn't make much difference to paypal.
    This is my opinion. There are many others like it but this is mine

    I am a professional ebay seller. I work hard at my job, I love my job, if you think it's silly that's your problem not mine. :p

    Thanks TurkishDelight, I didn't know a stolen CC was protectable against at all.

    The only thing you are not protected against is if he says it is not as descibed I think?

    If you are seriously concerned message the other sellers he's bought from hopefully if he's dodgy they'll tell you.

    All the ipods have been bought within the past few days so I don't know if they would know yet
