    Ask the other sellers to ask the buyer if they are having issues with their post.

    Once they have done so and your buyer has responded, message your buyer back and tell them they have told seller x y and z their item has not arrived either, so perhaps they have got confused.

    Once confronted with the evidence that they have been rumbled, most scammers will back down.

    Contact other sellers they have bought from to see if they have had issues.

    If they get back in touch and confirm your suspicions, hit your buyer with that information if they do raise INR and offer to contact Royal Mail on their behalf to help them with all their mail that is going missing.

    Surprisingly effective.

    Also worth using the online redelivery form and forwarding the confirmation to their email - the fact something has been logged with Royal Mail seems to scare a lot of my INR away.

    Pretty much said the above, got this back:

    It's not really any of your business in my life weather I'm good or not I'm enquiring about the wearsbouts of my money I will open a case many thanks :)

    Now will Ebay listen?
