Messed that first one up! I have researched my 'Buyer' and found the following which may help others. Buyer has been selling screensavers at 1 pence each, this has given a large feedback over a relatively short period. As Feedback is kept private, you can't check to see what has been bought by whom, Paypal also gives a healthy verified rating due to large number of payments received. Nothing has ever been posted to or from this buyer, Correspondance is only through Ebay messages, therefore no details can be checked. I personally will block all buyers with private feedback from now on, what have they got to hide? Obviously a lot in some cases.

Name and shame time, I have emailed both addresses, no reply received (if they were cloned accounts I think they would have replied by now), Telephone number supplied is dead, I would assume Postal address is false, PayPal and Ebay are investigating Ebay id is charliejsn feedack is 156 100%, PayPal account is under a different name completely Postal Address: Charlie Johnson London NW10 Unconfirmed Email address: charliejohnson911@hotmail.co.uk PayPal id: Payment From: Ryan Clayton Buyer's ID: charliejsn Buyer's Email: ryan.clayton@hotmail.co.uk

Very lucky, that's why I thought I'd pass it on, my experience may just save another a few quid/coin. Bacs is a much better way of securing the funds, but I get jittery at giving out too much personal information with all the 'cloning' that's been going on. Cash is the best way, but try paying in or taking out more than a couple of hundred from the bank and they all but frisk you these days.

I had a 'Buy it Now' used on a particularly expensive coin this morning. The buyer in very bad English, through bay Messages, asked me to Invoice him for immediate payment and asked to collect the coin in person the same day. The Payment was made through PayPal immediately, notification from Paypal they had received the funds followed shortly, then I received an email from the buyer confirming he had made the payment and asking for my address/where the coin was for collecting that day also my whereabouts, was I at my address or at work. Fortunately I don't keep my coins at home, but offered to collect it and meet this person at my home address to hand it over that evening. In the meantime the PayPal payment had been reversed by the Buyer/PayPal and notification of such received from PayPal. Had it not been for the delay in collecting the coin, and that I keep my email browser open, I probably would missed the PayPal warning and parted with the coin. I emailed the Buyer that the payment had been withdrawn, he never showed up or replied to the email, the Telephone number he listed is non-existant, probably the address also. PayPal are investigating, but the buyer had a 100% posotive Ebay UK Feedback of 156, although it was registered as Private. As a precaution I will now be listing a three day turnaround with no personal collections, unless of course I know you.
