Questionable name on order

I received an order with a questionable name, The address is legit, But the name get this Demon Killer Gang!, Is this some Halloween thing?, The order has value so I informed the buyer That it will be sent with delivery confirmation, Signature required, Just for a precautionary , It was worth the little bit extra, I do not wish to be scammed.

I hope so too.  Likely someone just having a little fun with the upcoming Holiday.  Some adults love celebrating Halloween.

It was meant as a detergent for bad behavior, Because I am a little suspicious & it is a brand new account, I think everything will turn out just fine.

I think others covered the topic pretty well, but I'll add some well wishes for you @meme6253 . I hope the transaction is smooth and your buyer is happy with their purchase.

Possible charge back.


Every eBay transaction carries the potential for fraud.

Signature confirmation does not change that.

All it changes is which method the scammer uses to defraud you. 

SC will not protect you against an INAD chargeback.

Requiring signature almost guarantees that you will have a mismatch between name on the order and signing recipient.  

regardless, nothing wrong with your buyer’s name being made up.  I actually like it when I send to a recipient like this one - using a goofball name is just fun.  


They don't need to match.  Ebay has no requirement for that in which I'm aware of.

When I was selling a lot of goth and cyber I used to get names like "Cannibal Baby" and "Darkness Falls", etc.

I think you are right, but OP wasn’t getting a signature based on what eBay required.

And as has been fully explained already in this thread, the carriers do not care if the names match either, unless you pay for the very expensive highest level of Direct Signature Confirmation, which they were not paying for, so your comment is irrelevant.
