Potential Scam?

[adam_and_kel]

Hello all!

Been awhile since I've sold anything on eBay or posted. 

I recently listed and sold some high value ($1,000+) electronics and both of the buyers have zero feedback. I did some looking a d both addresses appear to be residential addresses. Them having zero feedback doesn't necessarily mean anything. The odd thing is that one of the buyers messaged me to ask when I would ship the item. I replied that it would be today or tomorrow but I was just working on purchasing the shipping label and realized the same buyer had already left me positive feedback. I assume they're just new and don't understand how eBay works? Is this some sort of new scam or am I just overanalyzing it as a returning seller?

Thanks in advance!

Nope.  If you have been paid, ship the item.  Do not forget to get SIGNATURE confirmation of the delivery.  You need that on any transaction over $750 to be covered by Ebay seller protection as slim as it is.

Keep in mind that for something to be a "scam" the buyer would have to have a way of cheating you out of your money and/or your product.  You have no such evidence that this buyer is trying to do that at this point.  Certainly things could change once they receive the item.  But then that is true on all transactions.

After not selling for awhile, I'm surprised they let you list those.

Game systems are a high scammed item, and there's a good chance you'll loose any payment and the system.

All the buyer has to do is claim the package was empty or ship back a box of rocks and you'll have to refund.

And a pre- Sale at that. Wow, I truly hope everything works out for OP.
