Plz I need your guys opinion If I’m being too paranoid/precautious about this transaction. Someone just purchased my buy it now LV item. I looked up their name and address n google shows them living in a million dollar condo but what bothers me is that they have 0 feedback and just opened up their account. I know is possible that they can just be new to EBay but I’m scared bc I’ve been scammed b4. Any advice will be appreciated thank you

I think sometimes people are looking for a specific item on ebay and when they find it they make an account and purchase it. Take good pictures, film yourself packing it and make sure you insure if for the full value.

Ship to the name and address as indicated in the transaction and be sure to use s.c. if the total payment is $750 or more and you'll be protected as long as tracking shows delivery .

s.c. is signature confirmation. Only required if the total paid is over $750.

What do you guys think of this:
3 different sellers on ebay - all 3 live in different states
Same items listed with the same pictures

What would be an explanation?

I've seen it over the years where it's a ring of scammers (not really located in the US) who use various US locations. In most cases, they're selling NWT highly faked brands and items for prices that are obviously too good to be true.

Can you post links? (If you feel more comfortable PMing, that's okay.)

Is the PayPal site undergoing maintenance or some strange thing?
I can’t pay though PayPal and am also not receiving emails to my PayPal email about a credit to my account from today, but when I log into PayPal directly I can see it.

I don't know about maintenance but quite often I won't get the Paypal email until nearly 24 hours later. Sometimes I'll know I have a credit but it won't show up in Paypal for hours.

I did see that alwayssold911 is registered in Russia but item location is Florida.


I agree that something seems very strange. I also noticed that each has the identical C&P'ed description and listing style, i.e., all have titles in all caps. All 3 sellers also have other listings of the identical items as each other.

I suspect they're the same person or working together. I also found other (now NARU) IDs that I believe are (or rather, WERE) connected:
I think this might be another connection: akva1962(151)


*mhomes1-6 has purchased from and received feedback as a buyer from both alwayssold911 and saro-5489: https://www.ebay.com/fdbk/feedback_profile/mhomes1-6?_trksid=p2545226.m2531.l4585

*mhomes1-6 has purchased from and left feedback as a buyer for saro-5489.

*alwayssold911 has SOLD to mhomes1-6 and left mhomes1-6 feedback and she's sold to saro-5489 and received feedback from this buyer.

* saro-5489 bought from and left feedback for alwayssold911:

Bottom line: There's sketchiness going on. I don't believe there are 3 of the same scarf.
