EBay buyer wants me to ship outside US. Safe?
I just sold my iPhone on eBay and the winning bidder asked me to ship to Sri Lanka, he said he would cover shipping cost, is this safe? My listing said US only. Should I follow thru or offer the phone to the next highest bidder
Definitely NOT safe.
You should only accept PayPal, and you should only ship to PayPal verified addresses. Shipping anywhere else voids the protections that PayPal gives you.
- Sold iPhone on ebay now buyer wants me to unlock it? I recently sold my old iPhone 4s on ebay. The buyer contacted me a few days ago asking if I could go to att.com/deviceunlock and unlock it. It's free to me and he said he would gift me $20 on paypal if I do it. Is this legit or is this guy trying to pull something on me? It has a clean imei so it wouldn't be an issue, I just don't know if this is something that is going to get me into trouble
- SHOULD I SHIP MY ITEM TO THIS SUSPICIUS BUYER ON EBAY? Today I sold and Iphone 4s on Ebay and everything was working out just fine, the buyer payed like usual. Then, the buyer messaged me and said "I accidentally put the wrong address. Can I change the address?" I replyed and told him/her "NO". I then went to paypal to see if it my funds were pending and they was. I also looked at the buyers buying history and he didn't have any. He joined August 14, 2014. Do you guys think I should ship the item or contact ebay?
- Seller on Craigslist wants to ship product? I found an iphone wanted to buy off of the seller which was a local listing. After I contacted the seller he said he had moved to another state and would have to ship the phone to me. He wants to go through PayPal but I'm not sure if I should forget about it or if its safe.
- Is it safe to sell iphone on Craiglist and let the buyer wire the money from Paypal? One guys found my listing on Craiglist and wanted to wire me the money and then I ship him the phone. Is there any way for him to take the money back from my paypal? We're not doing thru Ebay because ebay charges me a ton for selling it.
