Just got a "suspicious buyer for your item" message

"

We had to cancel bids for the buyer, *******, because they aren't registered on eBay:
Bone Bridge Saddle, Compensated, Highest Quality, For Most Fender Guitars!


We've also made it easy to relist your item if it was removed. Although the item is no longer available in search listings, you will find it in the Sold section of My eBay. For more information, please visit:
http://pages.ebay.com/help/sell/relist.html

To help you avoid this situation in the future, consider setting a Buy It Now price and requiring buyers to make an immediate payment. For more information on immediate payments, visit:
http://pages.ebay.com/help/pay/require-immediate-payment.html

We recommend you take the following actions if this buyer won the item:
- If you haven't received payment, don't complete the sale or send the item to the buyer.
- Don't communicate with the buyer directly.
- Verify any payments you've been notified of by logging into your payment account (or other online payment service).
- If the buyer requests a refund or additional payments, don't send any money without contacting eBay first.
- If you've already sent the item, try contacting the shipping carrier to find out if you can stop shipment.

In these types of situations, we may, at our sole discretion, decide whether to credit the fees for removed listings.
- We have credited all associated fees except for the final value fee for your listing(s).

If you have any concerns or questions, click "Help & Contact" at the top of most eBay pages.

We're sorry for this inconvenience, and thanks for continuing to work with us.

Thanks,

eBay"

 

 

Umm, guys, you're a little late.  I received payment several days ago and the buyer got the item yesterday.  This is the first time I've ever seen this on eBay.    I mean, I get it, the guy must have done something to be NARU'd, but my transaction happened with no issues, so I don't know what the deal is.

Funny thing about this, it suggests I set a buy it now price and require immediate payment... well, that's what I had and what the guy did. Maybe I should check my paypal just to make sure there wasn't a chargeback or something....

It said they had to cancel bids.
You said you had immediate payment required.
Was this an auction?

Everyone has options. Just be sure the best option is right for you.

No, it wasn't an auction, it was set up as a buy it now, immediate payment required, fixed price only.  No bids were cancelled, because it wasn't set up to take bids, and from what I can see, no sales were cancelled.  I got paid and I shipped the item and it was delivered already.  So I don't know what the deal is, other than they NARU'd my buyer.  It's really strange.

I’m going with glitch. Does it say not a registered user on their feedback page? They can also register as guest. So, I’m not sure 🤔

They don't have a lot of feedback, I think somewhere around 10 or so, but they don't have any bad feedback, either.  It just says they are no longer a registered user.  I've got no clue, it MUST be a glitch of some sort, that's all I can come up with since the sale was already through the system and I wasn't forced to refund.
