Multiple purchases different accounts same paypal account Fraud???

[gogirlink]

I recently sold 3 of the same chromebooks in a day but noticed that the three different buyers had the same shipping address and all used a single paypal account that belonged to one of the purchasers. 

The paypal account is verified but something about these sales has me concerned for fraud. 

If the first purchaser and paypal account owner wanted 3, they could have just purchased them at the same time. 

Should I be worried?

Many members have multiple Ebay accounts with the same PP account..I have three myself.

My concern is that ebay two of names are not the same as the paypal account (men and women) and the shipping address is the same but the name on the ebay address is not any of the buyers.

maybe they are family using the same account...

Maybe they are guest accounts. They paid, you need to ship

That is disconcerting and not typical, but in the end if paypal lists 3 separate purchases and payments and OK to ship, then ship, separately, with 3 different tracking numbers.

Your buyer didn't want to order 3 but receive only 1 Chromebook. It's a precaution.

Further, eBay has a problem with opening a case for multiples of one listing, and with opening individual cases for individual purchases of one listing. Hence, 3 eBay accounts each purchasing one of that listing, if a case or cases must be opened.

PayPal, however, assigns a different Transaction ID to each of the multiple purchases, hence all 3 eBay accounts can be paid with the same PayPal account.

It may be an international purchasing business, similar to a shipping forwarder, but offering payment services as well.  The buyer orders the item and pays the purchaser all the costs + the purchasers fees, the purchasing/shipping company passes along the order with the buyers name, the companies address and pays from the company's paypal.  You ship to the purchasing/shipping agent and they re-ship it to customer. 

You are protected as long as you have confirmed delivery to the address IF this is the case.

What state is the shipping address for?
