Problem Buyer

Ive not used ebay for a while, just sold a phone but buyer wants item posting to a country I don't send to and a different country and address than his registered paypal address.

I don't want to do this but wondered if I open a dispute via ebay using the reason "buyer requested delivery to a country I don't post to" could the buyer refuse this request to close the transaction and still leave negative feedback?

    JUST SOLD A PHONE, scammers favourite item!

    You are under no obligation and to post to an other address would be a disaster, yes do send the cancellation form and notify ebay in a live chat about how they have managed to by-pass the settings and you suspect fraud.

    Never mind a negative , as it is better to have a negative feedback as lose a phone and the Paypal payment to a criminal. Am sure ebay will remove the neg that they go on to leave out of spite. Good luck
    NB...People online who are here asking advice for "my friend" they really mean "myself" :eek:

    exactly, that's what makes me reluctant to send to a different address than the paypal address, I think your right though no point losing a phone for the sake of a neg, if it happens i'll see if I can get it removed, but if I cant, what the hell its only one.

    thanks for sharing your thoughts on the matter.:beer:

    Scammers tend not to leave negs (well the intelligent ones anyway) - it leaves a trail, and allows you to respond with the facts.

    Dont send it, and pester Ebay until they remove the neg - if you do get one.
