I thought maybe she has hijacked someones account. Or she is not the real owner of the account and is using unauthorized. Could be a child or something.

Definitely weird... Nothing surprises me anymore on eBay though!

[spoiledwify]

if i where you just ignore this buyer and block her name . instead of making yourself too frustrated dealing w/ this kind of buyer!

[hlchen]

Is her Paypal address confirmed? If not maybe it is a hijacked account??

[RowdyAndPete]

Its probably a gift...thats all I can think of.

[nickkyvintage]

More than likely it's just a gift - dont panic! x

I've had bidders request not to leave feedback until after a specific date, and I suspect that is because they didn't want to "found out." Not leaving feedback isn't that unusual of a request.

I would suspect she is using someone elses account.

btw- is flipping considered bad. I do it too only because most of the time sellers don't take returns. I always lose $$$ on it-but that's life. I also do it on the same account, as I am not hiding the facts (it's in my feedback).

No, LOTS of sellers do it, actually, including some of the really big sellers, but they usually just have different id's for it. It isn't dishonest as long as you don't claim it is something that it isn't (the old "oh, I bought it from Barneys!") or steal the pictures of the last auction. I buy as much as I sell on eBay and all of the stuff eventually ends up back on there. No one has ever said anything to me about it. I think people understand--you buy stuff and it doesn't fit, or you don't like it, or whatever and ebay is the best way to pass it along.

There is a difference between reselling something you bought that isn't working for you (And hey, how novel! Instead of lying and bullying your seller into taking a return, you actually do the conscientious thing and resell it on eBay? ) and flipping, which is done to snag a deal on something only to mark it up and make a profit.

(By the way, flipping isn't "bad" either, it just pisses people off when they find out about it!)
