I've had about a dozen transactions on one of my new account in the past month.
All of the orders are supposed to be going to the following address:
*****
*****
United States
Each account is different, brand new with 0 feedback. All of the names are different and appear as the following
GenericFirstName BSTHGLJH
That is in the order details but on the orders page the name always appears different like this
The middle initial and last name are always combined like this
****
Whoever it is keeps ordered and then cancelled 5 minutes later. We are already up to 5 just in the past 2 hours. At this rate I just want to tell them I can't cancel it and punish them for their behavior but this is ridiculous.

Unless you're getting postage stamps at some kind of massive discount aren't you losing money by selling something for 99 cents with free shipping?
.63 stamp
.30 transaction fee
13.25% FVF.

They have a cool 3 cents left over on every order after paying for the envelope.
Also, pretty sure at least half those lego bricks are too thick to send with a stamp.
I was thinking they might be farming him for automatic feedback but it seems like he doesn't leave any so that couldn't be it.

@d.b.bricks Just curious as to exactly how you are shipping these blocks? They cannot be mailed in a normal letter envelope since envelopes must be flexible to be processed by the machine so are you putting these items in a "package"?

I have a longer term plan in place. My profits will be coming later when I get larger.

You are right that it doesn't but the OP's description of the messages associated with the cancellation is consistent with the scam which has been identified, and different enough from normal to indicate it probably is the same scam.
I do not rush to accuse buyers of scamming, but this looks bad.
What I would not say is that all of these orders might be from the same buyer. Someone could have shared how to info on reddit or facebook or some other social media.
