<p>[QUOTE=&quot;stldanceartist, post: 2335743, member: 13307&quot;]Well.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Anyone who has sold coins on eBay knows the excitement of receiving that notification that an item has been sold.&nbsp; That excitement only gets better when it&#039;s a higher value item...but then every once in a while you get one that just throws red flags up all over the place.&nbsp; This is one of those transactions.</p><p><br /></p><p>Here are the facts:</p><p><br /></p><p>Buyer joined eBay TODAY and has 0 feedback or transaction history.</p><p>Buyer does not have a PayPal account and used Guest checkout to pay with a credit card.</p><p>Item sold for $1,250 USD through BIN (for full price.)</p><p><br /></p><p>I called eBay looking for guidance, and their &quot;customer support&quot; was, as usual, completely incompetent.&nbsp; Two calls, two reps who don&#039;t speak english (and, as a result, don&#039;t even comprehend what I&#039;m asking.)</p><p><br /></p><p>I called PayPal, and they couldn&#039;t see anything fraudulent about the seller, but said that sometimes it takes a few hours before they figure out a sketchy transaction, at which time they will place a hold on the funds.</p><p><br /></p><p><b>My main question is this: those of you who are experienced sellers on eBay, what would you do in this situation?</b></p><p><br /></p><p>What I am most worried about is the &quot;empty box&quot; SNAD return.&nbsp; If I end up shipping the item, it will obviously ship via USPS Registered Mail (tracking and signature required.)&nbsp; So it will show that it&#039;s delivered.&nbsp; But what I don&#039;t want to happen is that someone processes a return, keeps the coin, and mails me back an empty box.&nbsp; They charge back their CC, I&#039;m out the coin and the funds.</p><p><br /></p><p>Right now, this is my plan:</p><p><br /></p><p>I have contacted the buyer asking them to contact me, and stating that I am not going to ship the item until they do.</p><p>I plan to wait 24 hours to give PayPal an opportunity to look at the transaction.</p><p>If I end up shipping the item, I plan to video the packaging of the item as well as the opening of any return package that is sent.</p><p><br /></p><p>Anyone had this happen to them before, and have any advice/thoughts?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
