Seller beware: buyer scams a handy guide
We see a lot of posts in the community about people sending the wrong item sending payments uninsured and not receiving anything but not much from the other perspective. People who scam the sellers.
Well today I had a run-in with such a person and it’s a classic scam tactic.
The buyer sends you payment to your insured payment platform of choice however shortly after they message you and ask you that you send the package to a different address from the one provided on the order. 9.9 times out of 10 this is a scam the buyer plans on complaining they never received the item because you didn’t send it to the address provided. You can try to fight this however most buyer secure platforms are heavily buyer biased.
It is possible they made a mistake your best choice of action is to refund and ask the buyer to resubmit with the correct address if they don’t it’s most likely a scam
