TLDR version - Have a suspicious Chinese buyer back again and not sure the best way to stop him buying my stuff?
About a month ago both my partner and I were selling items using each of our own accounts and both had people with a Chinese postal address win some items (So I had buyerA win items on my account and she had buyerB win some items).
We both didn't have China listed as a postal option - worked out we had to change the setting in seller preferences to block this - and messaged the buyers to tell them it was a mistake and could we please cancel.
The strange thing was that we both got exactly the same message back from buyerA and buyerB pleading that we please send them the items anyway. I looked into the postal address for both buyer accounts and they had the same postal address in China with a slightly different name.
It looked too suspicious to me - and looking at feedback had a few 'Positive' feedback saying they were a non paying buyer etc - so I said I wouldnt send and eventually the non-paying cases timed out and the items were cancelled.
Well anyway, now the same person is back again! This time I am dealing with buyerB (last time it was buyerA), and I had changed my settings to not send to outside of Australia, but now the person has an Australian address (which looks fake with a last name of YJJBRB).
I messaged them to say that I would not deal with them due to how suspicious it was last time and now they have given me a speel that they are on a business trip to Australia so it shouldn't be a problem.
Isaid I won't send it to them, but I am expecting that if I did they would say to send it to a Chinese Address.
Is there anyway I can stop this? Both of the accounts have made their feedback private, but have positive feedback as I suspect even though they are positive they are saying negative things (like what I saw initially with comments of them being a scammer/non payer).

OP WROTE: Is there anyway I can stop this? Both of the accounts have made their feedback private, but have positive feedback as I suspect even though they are positive they are saying negative things (like what I saw initially with comments of them being a scammer/non payer).
Given the feedback has been made private how do you propose the OP report those sellers bsal ? lol
I think the OP is rightly concerned about their own situation, rather than spending time reporting sellers who have left honest feedback that may in possiblity have alerted others to this buyers habits more quickly than might otherwise have been the case
