eBay

We operate two ebay stores.

This evening we had the same ZERO FB buyer (same name and address) using two different IDs buy the same (I mean identical) two lots of items from both of our stores. Her ID says she joined ebay on today's date on both IDs.

They have all been all fully instantly paid using PayPal. Total value across the two stores is about $140. Nice order for us!

We have messaged her asking if there have been mistakes made here, but no response as yet.

I guess if we get no response we will treat them all as valid orders and mail them all out in a fully tracked and lodged parcel.

I'm inclined to use C&S on this one. Normally we mail on the same business day (if paid by around 2pm) or in this case tomorrow.

We've not seen anything like this before.

Anyone have any ideas/theories here or seen something like this before?

TBH and blunt, but JMO I think you have over analysed this sale.

Pretty rational possibilities have been posted to this thread by respected sellers.

IMO the buyer used guest status to purchase multiples of goods they required from two separate stores that just happen to be both yours. The buyer paid by paypal.

You are sending with tracked post - and given the value is over $50 thats pretty much commonsense - isn't it ?

If it is some type of covert attempt to defraud you, you pretty much have done all you can do.... FGS chill, not every eBay sale fits a particular profile, it you are going to sweat any anonomly on this venue, you will get an ulcer pretty quick, ain't worth it really.
