so a 0 feedback buyer won a pair of shoes i had up for sale on ebay. they paid two days later, then sent me a message asking me to mark the item as a gift. i start to see flags, so i checked the address given on paypal and it's a US address (confirmed).
i told them i will not put an invoice in the package, and there are no customs forms to be declared since it is being mailed in the US from the US.
i got back this email:
"Thank you for your prompt response. I'm still used to Amazon when they send something packaged as a gift that they put a receipt in there saying gift and they zero out receipt. I checked with a family member bc I am shipping this as a gift to someone who lives internationally and was told that they will need a receipt indicating that it is a gift. I'm still learning how it all works, oh well. The mailing address is correct.... "
i emailed the buyer again expressing confusion and that this is not being mailed internationally by me and the only place i DO have to declare value is for insurance, to protect myself in case the package gets lost.
i haven't heard back on that email yet, but is there something i'm missing here? the package is going to florida and the ebay user is registered in the US.
