2 Cancellations on the Same Item Today Due to Unauthorised Buyer of Account?!?

[blackconverse28]

Selling an iPhone 5s, I had one person cancel due to her payment not clearing in time for me to send it in time for Christmas.

Relisted then it sold within an 1hr, then I sent an invoice and it was cancelled due to unauthorised access.

Relisted it and it sold about 3-4 hrs later and the same thing happened! Both people were from the US.

I have sold things on eBay for a few years and this is the first its happened let alone twice in one day.

Has anyone has a simlar issue recently?

Thanks.

If you relist with a buy now put immediate payment required on it and then till it is paid for it is not sold.

I would also suggest not to offer international postage on the phone as the battery can't go via airmail. Could save a lot of heartache. It could also weed out scam Nigerian buyers.

Just wondering if the OP has arranged a mutual cancellation with each buyer as the phone has been sold at $550 three times in two days.

Oh the fees ! Oh the humanity ! I have to look away !

Not in this case, if possible issue an unpaid item on each to get back the final value fees.

OP said I have sold things on eBay for a few years and this is the first its happened let alone twice in one day. Why has OP decided to sell on a new account?? Why not sell on the account that OP has sold on for years? Selling iPhones on a new zero feedback account will definately attract scammers

Pretty sure that UPI's need to be closed before relisting.

Is it possible to open UPI thrice for same item without first closing each case ?
