eBay

I just sold an item for $66+ to a buyer who just opened an account today (0 feedback) with a strange user name, similar to bebetel.orb6xxg . Three weeks ago I got stung by a scammer with a one day old account, now I dread this scenario. My Paypal account shows payment received and that the address is verified.

Is there anything I can do to lessen the chances of being scammed before shipping item?

TIA

Signature tracking is recommended by Pay Pal. Packages can get lost, put on someone elses doorstep, stolen off of peoples porches, peole sometimes say they did not get it--if they signed for it they definately got it. Signature tracking IS the Holiest Grail of protection.

Ummmm... Signature Confirmation is only required for payments of $750 or more.
