> ebay Help! Suspicious buyer?
Bookmark topic
I've just sold my old K750 on eBay, Buy It Now.
I got the "eBay Item Sold" email through from eBay, which listed the buyers ID and email address - a bloke called Andy.
Underneath was the Buyer's postal address, however, this was of a woman called Emma in Herongate, Essex. Underneath it had a note saying "(Please confirm with buyer that the address is correct)"
2 minutes later, I got an "Notification of an Instant Payment Received " email from Andy's email address (same as the eBay one). It had his name, eBay ID, and email address all the same as the email from eBay.
However, the PayPal payment email gave a different 'Confirmed' Delivery Address, for Andy in Southampton.
I checked with "My eBay", and the Southampton name & address was listed in the Sold Listing Sales Record.
The buyer has 100% Feedback score of 23.
Why would the "eBay Item Sold" email, have a completely different 'Buyer's postal address" to the one listed in "My eBay" and the PayPal payment email?
Both postal address appear to be legit, athough I can't find any info on the two names at these addresses, nor do I have phone numbers for either.

I think that ebay doesn't share the profile with Paypal.
Meaning that i think you can have a different addresses in both Ebay and Paypal registration.

Yeah, could be...
I'm just wondering why the name & address would be of a completely different person (different sex even!) and 122 miles apart?
The PayPal transaction says I must send to the PayPal Confirmed address (the one in Southampton) to be Eligible for Seller protection.
Just wondering where this other Name & Address have come from?!!

Hmm, as far as I'm aware, Paypal is owned by eBay so that they could a)Get more profit, b)Reduce the number of fraudulent people trading. If the Paypal account is confirmed it should be ok, it maybe a partners Paypal being used, I would email your query with them first and maybe query it with eBay, j

Maybe he's buying it either as a gift for or on behalf of somebody else?
I'd drop him an ebay message or email asking him to confirm which address he wants it sending to.

Yeah, I'll do that - see what he/she says!
Although to be eligible for PayPal's Seller Protection, I should send the item to the Confirmed Address in the PayPal Transaction Details page, no matter what they say...

I have different addresses on both ebay and paypal. I could choose which address for shipping in ebay but not on paypal. But my name is remain the same of course.
So far, no problem with my transaction.

in my experience theres only one thign to do and thats send to the paypal and also email the ebay account telling them this. If you do not send to the paypal addy then they can claim via paypal.
I think best thing to do is what I said above then make sure the ebayer knows (possibly best if you do that before sending)
