Difficult communication with the buyer

[lvaddictt]

Hello!

I sold an item but the communication with the buyer it is very difficult. He does not answer at my messages. I sent him pics from post offices before shipping out and show teacking number but he did not response at my message. I am little bit scared because the item that I sold to him it is a pair of LV sneakers sold with 620USD + shipping. And this buyer it is new account same as me. Hope he won’t be a scamm. What do you suggest?

What do you need to communicate with the buyer for?  If he has paid, you ship.  No communications required.

Why would you send him pictures from the post office?

Did you print a shipping label and apply? If so the tracking number would automatically be uploaded to ebay. 
If you went to PO to purchase shipping then you need to enter tracing information into ebay.

@7606dennis it is not my first sale. even if i joined ebay in 2019 i alredy sold 2 lv handbags both of them over of $2k and i communicate with the buyers on the entire way of the shipping untill they received the item. Even after reveiving. Great communications. And also got positive reviews. This why this buyer it is suspicious to me. Not for any other reason!

@charity_scents yes, i did.

Think your expectations of buyers communicating with you about their item being in transit is ridiculously high. This buyer isn't being difficult. I receive messages all the time from sellers that my package has been shipped. I've never replied, nor do I expect my buyers to reply.

My only suggestion is to make sure a signature is required.

We all have had that gut feeling about something and generally when your gut is telling your something, you should listen to it.    At this point, if you shipped the item..................... see if you can pull up the address to confirm it, is it a well known scammers address, look at the buyer's feedback, and check out his previous purchases.      Did you get insurance on you package?  Good luck!

"What do you suggest?"

Nothing.

You can communicate and update the buyer all you want, but cannot expect any response. They paid, you shipped, that's all that matters. The buyer may not even check-in to read messages, for one reason. You as a seller, may look for messages all day, a buyer may never look for messages.

The rest seems like your own worry over selling/sending expensive items. That will always be a worry on ebay.

As a newer seller, why are you selling such expensive things here?

As a newer seller, you are a scam target.

Get some good experience before you sell high dollar items.

Buyers are not required to carry on lengthy communications with sellers.  If they pay you are required to ship the item they bought from you regardless of whether they communicate with you or not. 

Since 2008 all buyers have only been able to receive positive feedback from sellers.  If they purchased from you and paid, what are you suspicious about?  Even if you are suspicious and the buyer has a history of leaving negative feedback, once the buyer has made the purchase there is nothing you can do except ship the item provided the buyer has paid.  Failure to ship just because the buyer doesn't wish to communicate with you would probably lead to a short selling carrier, in my opinion.

By the way, taking photographs of packing an item and delivering it to the PO for shipping is totally useless in any type of eBay and PayPal dispute and I seriously doubt that they would have much standing in any type of civil or criminal proceedings.
