Hello everyone! Looking for some insight and advice here. The highest bidder for one of my auctions is
location China
feedback number 3,788
Member since August 25, 2022
A member for 638 days at a time of writing this
buyer has received approximate 178 feedback every month, for month after month which averages out to just under six every day for the past 638 days. ( all feedback is as a buyer it looks like… Not a seller) (seems higher than typical)
The buyer dragged their feet and took some time to make payment, I messaged them, eventually they paid.
Shipping address is a third-party shipper I believe called myUS
shipping address
4291 Express Ln
Ste 9482-191
Sarasota, FL 34249-2602
United States
there are some problems/frustrations with this address and/or buyers that use this address as seen on other discussions
winning bid price $165
The item is a used estate vintage DUNHILL tobacco pipe
this particular item is not as susceptible to scam for fraud as compared to other items such as designer jewelry and accessories or electronics or bitcoin etc. etc.
I see different options here… The buyer paid, it is a US address, I ship the item.
OR
cancel order because
I know that the option could be that I shipped the item the US PS tracking takes time to upload due to previous history of this address lagging uploaded tracking, the buyer opens up an item not received case, I risk negative feedback, and a possible forced refund, and mess and headache however I could ask Ebay to put the case on hold if they open one to allow USPS tracking to upload…
could be legit… Or I could be like other scenarios on other discussions where buyers trying to set up a item not received case, negative feedback, and in the end ultimately received the item and receives the refund resulting in them receiving a free item and me risking being out that money and possible negative feedback
if there’s any other info that’s helpful I’m happy to help, share, elaborate
thoughts?
thanks!
(PS, the second highest bidder for the item that is in the US just bought another one of my items and they said they would be interested in buying the item this is before the winning bidder paid)
