Buyer wants item posted abroad and to different address to paypal account

Joannef_2

I was wondering if anyone can help me with this question as eBay chat doesn't seem to be working.

I only post to the UK and have it set up on my account so people outside the UK can't bid. Buyer is registered in the UK and their paypal account has a UK postal address. They have emailed me telling me to post the item abroad to a different address. I have explained politely that I only post to the UK. Buyer is quite rude telling me I have a problem. I'm not happy with this, what would other people do?

They could have stated whilst logged into paypal they wanted it delivered to an alternative address - can't understand why they would ask this later?

I also think it's strange that it's a different country too. Why would someone have a UK account if they are in Europe? I would have thought if they moved they would transfer their account to the proper country.

I would tell them to take a hike. You have to send to paypal address - I feel a scam coming on.

Yes, I think it's a bit dodgy too. I don't post abroad as I only sell a few bits every now and then, but I have posted abroad before a few times and three of those times they did a chargeback/or item not received so I don't think it's worth the hassle now for the small amount that I sell.

Only send to the Paypal address mentioned in the mail you received from Paypal.

This is the only way you're covered. Else tell the buyer to re-purchase the item with the new address added to his Paypal account.
