'You're Protected for this Dispute'

This was a strange dispute...never had one like these.

The purchase I guess was a 'guest account'...no feedback and a new account.

It was an international buyer from UK...I would never have thought a UK buyer...they are so nice from UK.

I did mark the item shipped yesterday...with no tracking...and was going to mail it this morning...LOL

No hold on funds for this item.

I assume the buyer made a lot of purchases and disputes and maybe eBay notice that..

Anyway, it was nice to know that 'big brother' is watching sometimes.

A win without even doing a thing.

Yeah, typically tracking is required for automatic seller protections on a "doesn't recognize the transaction" payment dispute.

Since you didn't even ship yet, or use tracking, I agree that abuse was probably detected and that's why eBay's covering you on this.

It was marked shipped...LOL

Right, I saw that, but marking it shipped on its own is not enough to trigger seller protections on a payment dispute. This is why there has to be another factor and, like you suggested, buyer abuse is probably the reason.

Good to see eBay having your back on it.
