Question about something on Ebay
I sold a watch and the winning bidder sent me a message afterwards saying that he needs it shipped somewhere else, not the address that is on his paypal account (which is in Mexico).

He hasn't paid for it yet, and I told him to hold of on paying it until I can figure out if its legit or not.

Here was his message to me.

"After you read this message, i will pay you the watch, but i need you to send me the watch to the following address please:

xxxxxxx
xxxxxxx
xxxxxxx

Tha address has change because paypal shows another address (Mexico), please ignore that address. Thanks.
xxxxxxxxx"

I've x'd out his name and Address, but doesn't that sound fishy?

This...

The other alternative would be to have him try and officially change his address in pay-pal or Ebay..

But I have done transactions like that (different address) before. As long as the communication is coming through EBAY and you have the money...Theres not much if any risk..

How expensive is it?


edit: one more alternative is to have him western union the money instead of pay pal...

Theres no refunds with western union

That is kind of my point....

I have done hundreds of online transactions and not been scammed. Once you have the money in your hand, it is pretty hard to be scammed...

He could even make him write in the payment insctructions THROUGH pay pal, please ship to XXXX address....then request a signiture.

He could also use western union, and make him request a certain address with western union...

It isn't rocket science...

If the email is coming though eBay and it's from his user ID that won the account, then I guess you can send it to whatever address he tells you to once he pays.

I'm just worried because about 8 years ago, my mom sold something on ebay, and the purchaser used a hacked paypal account and so my Mom didn't get money for the item, and since it showed that the money came through on her paypal initially, she already shipped the item, so she was out the money and the item.

There's more seller protection now, tho, although not nearly as much as for the buyer.

I will need pics of your mom before analyzing this situation.

But like Tiny said, if they are using that eBay account thru the eBay checkout system, I think you'll be fine. I've had people ask me to ship to different addresses.

I say ship it. If something bad happens, just open up a paypal dispute case. They'll be able to see you're not at fault and get you your money.

The thing is is that he is saying that he doesn't want it shipped to the address in his paypal account. Wouldn't that sort of screw me if something happened since I didnt send it to the address on his paypal? Why can't he just add the extra address on his paypal?

Paypal won't care especially if you have proof that he told you to ship it to that other address.

If you want to be ultra careful, as soon as he pays you, transfer the money to tour bank account. If it clears, then you can ship the watch. But then again that takes 3 days to clear so he'll likely be mad at the slow shipping.

That wouldn't help. Paypal would get the money back if it is a fraud situation or if there is a dispute opened.
