Same buyer ID, erratically different addresses, asks to "not send invoice..."

All the sudden I have two buyers that are having me send to 5 different addresses, and leaving a note asking I "Please wrap this order well and do not attach a receipt because I do not want my friends to see it. Thank You."  Or similar.

One of them gave me an address that had no zip extention, and as is my habit, I checked with the Post office website.  The address does not exist in it's form on the "View Order Detail" page.  Checking the other purchases by the same buyer, I see they're in completely different parts of the country.  Further, the buyer's ID is based in Indonesia.

Does anyone have any input on this?  Since I sell low price items, and cannot control what happens on the other end, I do not offer returns, so what is sold, stays that way, and I suppose if I did, I would have them pay to return the items...

I had a seed order a few weeks ago, and the buyer was was from Indonesia, probably same buyer.

He has them listed on his web site or here on Ebay, then when he gets an order, he orders from us, then he has us ship them to his customer.

He also ask me not to put a packing slip in the package, which I didn't, but I did put a note that I ship with those seeds that has my web site and Ebay store web address.

 

Have a great day.

I have a couple buyers (in my other store) that use me for dropshipping.  They are selling to buyers that very likely would never see my listings.  I am happy to ship to whomever they request and to not include a packing slip.  Raising my price to "cut out the middle man" would likely cause me to lose sales as I would not be as competitive on eBay, so that would not be a good strategy.  Anyway, what do I care if someone else can profit off my items?  Why cross paying buyers?  Anyone else want to resell my items?  Welcome to the game!

List more, sell more. Goodwill that other, uh, stuff.

Feeling sleepy? There's an app for that.

Well, after 4 emails, I got frustrated with the dropshipper with the bad address, and told them to "leave me alone now," and canceled the order.  Finally, they contacted me and left some apologetic blurb.

I put them on the blocked seller list.  I don't have time to do their work for them.  If they don't want to get it together and sell, I only suppose they're only interested in getting the paycheck.
