Yes expensive phones - several thousand pounds worth in a week or so!

do a paypal refund and start a NPD on ebay stating the buyer wants the item send to an unconfirmed address. I NEVER accept any payments from unconfirmed buyers EVER.

Will anything happen to the buyer if I do this - like a non paying bidder strike or something?

Hi - I've sold a mobile phone on Ebay to this buyer - matafleur21 and have been paid by Paypal (i've checked my account and the moneys definitely in there). The problem is i've done a search and found he/she has bought about 20 phones in the last few days. Should I just refund the payment and relist?

I'd email or call paypal for advice asap. They were very good with me when I had concerns.

It did turn out to be a scam (if that's the right word for it) probably an account hijack. Thanks for your comments - would have been gutted if I had sent the phone.
