Is this some type of scam?

Hi, Last night on another selling account I sold two items within a few minutes of each other. They were paid for immediately via paypal. They have been purchased by the same person on two different eBay accounts with system generated user names and the accounts were only opened yesterday. Same email address for paypal account. I am very suspicious and have sent message to buyer, asking why purchased on 2 accounts and letting her know the items will be sent in two registered mail packages to comply with paypal seller protection. Each item was for $89 so I am a little worried. Any advice would be greatly appreciated as I feel there is something not quite right here.

I wouldn't be overly suspicious, just sounds like the buyer used eBays guest facility to purchase.

As a guest you don't have to sign up to an eBay account.  You have to pay as you go - so you can't wait for combined invoice.

The IDs are automatically generated.

Correct me if I'm wrong but I understand that if a buyer uses the guest facility they forgo any rights to ebay MBG.

Is this true?

Guests can't leave feedback - though if they open an account they can leave feedback for goods purchased as a guest.

Here's what we found for "Buying as a guest on eBay"

You can purchase Buy It Now items without having an eBay account by using guest checkout. If you want to bid on or sell items or leave Feedback for sellers, you'll need to register an account.

When buying as a guest, you can:

• View order details
• Track the package
• Email the seller
• Return the item
• Let us know you didn't receive the item

To view your order details and track the item, you'll need to open your order confirmation email and select View Order Details.

If you didn't receive the item, or it doesn't match the listing description, you're covered by the eBay Money Back Guarantee.
