So, I have endured a string of dozens of purchases from new accounts that are clearly fraudulent accounts. All accounts were only a day or two old, all bought one or two .99 cent items and several new accounts are using the same first name with all different user IDs. The biggest give away was that all the accounts save one, were to have the item(s) purchased be shipped to a remote location in Oregon -
13822 NE Airport Way
Portland , OR 97251-9614
I looked up this address, it claims to be a business called "ReShip". I checked the BBB for information on this company and the BBB had only this information taken from the BBB website -
Licensing:
On 12/16/2016 BBB confirmed that ReShip.com had not obtained a necessary license from Oregon Secretary of State. BBB encourages you to contact the following agency or agencies to confirm this information - ID # 5039862200
Furthermore, all the accounts had names that DID NOT correspond to the name on the Paypal payment. As a seasoned eBay seller, it was clear that all the accounts were fake and were more than likely using stolen credit card numbers and purchasing small value items to "test" if a stolen credit card works.
ALL the buyers had a similar string of gibberish after the first name under the shipping address
- BSFMZZMZ
and others had this one
- NST610
I would not be surprised if others show up or have shown up elsewhere. I want to hear from other eBay sellers if they are experiencing similar issues. I cannot find any way to report a fraudulent "buyer" account, eBay does not have that option anywhere that I can find. They only offer the ability to report fake "seller" accounts and spoof emails. This does not help one bit when you are constantly having to cancel and block fake buyer accounts. It starts to waste precious time having to do all this and have no way to report it or stop it. eBay needs to get off its gold plated rear end and do something! They should be able to spot patterns of fraudulent accounts. All these accounts have similar things in common with all different names. They are being created to "test" purchase to see if stolen credit cards work and it needs to stop ASAP eBay!
