Multiple purchased by different Buyers who purchase the same item have same feedback and start date

Some recent orders are putting up my red flag. Not sure if anyone of you have seen this, or if this is some kind of a scam. I sell knives and have quantities of them available. In the last few days, different buyers have been buying the same knife, sending to different addresses, all sending as gifts with request for no price in box. They all have excellent feedback, similar start dates on eBay, and they all buy from the same sellers.

 

Something seems fishy to me! I just don't know what is going on. Are they all in some knife club and sharing links to good deals? Has any of you seen this?

You might check and see if they are using you as a drop shipper - they might be selling on Amazon, or other marketplaces.  The requesting it sent as a gift is a giveaway.

 

Compare your prices to those on other sites - if the reseller can pay fees and still make a profit with you doing all of the work, this is probably what is happening.
