Chinese buyer w/zero feedback purchases to a forwarding address, then opens a charge back
Hey,
So I've had a Chinese buyer purchasing a high priced item to the following freight forwarder service in OR:
15617 NE Airport Way
Portland OR 97251
Purchase was made last weekend, before that I suddenly got multiple msgs from 'various' Chinese 'buyers' inquiring about the price of the item - all but one were new users with 0 feedback. I suspected it was the same person and regardless, gave everyone the same answers. I adjust the price and another 'new' user with 0 feedback purchases the item - not any of the users who had been corresponding with me.
I shipped right away on Monday, item was delivered few days later. eBay deleted his account as well.
They didn't contact me about the transaction, I just noticed by myself it was deleted. I didn't upload tracking cause the entire thing didn't 'smell' right, I was going to do so after delivery. And sure enough - on Wednesday the 'buyer' opens a charge back outside eBay and says he tried to contact me to cancel (buyer never reached out - maybe cause his account was deleted?) and since the item wasn't shipped, allegedly, he wants a refund.
I will obviously challenge this and upload tracking/proof of delivery - but is it possible I'll be left without the item and out of the funds? The whole thing is bizarre, not the freight forwarding service itself (although that address is associated with few scams), but the way I was approached by multiple new zero feedback users, then another one buys, then the account is deleted and now a charge back.
Can a deleted account be instated? Can he lose the charge back case and then claim something else and try to return (it's a final sale item)? Thanks

·2 years agoI'd love to hear how this resolved.. I've got a zero feedback buyer from China who made an offer on a unique item..
The OP hasn't been in this forum since 2023 so I doubt you will ever find out the outcome.
We all started with zero feedback. But if you have issue with a new buyer from you can decline the offer or ignore it and block the buyer.
This is an old thread from 2021 and will close soon due to age. It is best to start your own thread instead of dragging up old ones. Thank you.
