Seriously...my nightmare here! Fortunately it wasn't for a purse, just for an Ipod Nano.
Person did a BIN on my Nano (great for me because it was way more than I wanted for it)...and paid right away (per my requirements on the auction)....BUT they are a 0 feedback buyer from Canada. Quebec to be exact.
Check paypal and unconfirmed of course (not all CDN addresses can be confirmed).
They have been a member of ebay since February...just never bought anything.
First thing I thought: why pay $175 for my BNIB nano? Then I realized they can't buy the Red ones there. OK....things makes sense.
I email them and ask them to confirm their address...or confirm it is their home address. And also make a note in their about customs.
I get an email back saying they don't speak English (only french) but they understand and it is their home address.
OK...I pull contact info and name & city match what is on the email and the paypal address. BUT the name doesn't match paypal.
I'm thinking stolen CC and email them again. They say it is their mother's CC because they are only 15 yrs old.
OK...I know there are people out there who will buy for their kids...but crap. I'm in a rock & a hard place here.
I'll ship EMS so I'll signature and everything (not too worried about that).
I thought about calling and confirming it with the mother...but apparently they don't speak English.
Sooooo.....what would you do? I'm tempted to send it...I'll have the EMS stuff to be able to track everything. And if you stole your parents CC you would probably be smart and not send it to them right? LOL
