Hi guys,
Just a query regarding a recent transaction. A buyer bought an item on Sunday and as I live fairly local I was doubtful that the address was accurate as i know the building is not the biggest. I checked the address on google to find the address was a hotel but then when re-checking realised the postcode was incorrect. I messaged the buyer saying that I would need to cancel the order if they did not respond and asked for contact details as the address was incorrect. Buyer emails me back to provide their correct address with new updated postcode and so i respond to say that we would need to cancel and they are welcome to buy again but enter the correct address in PayPal and eBay as we are unable to send to a different address than the ones in PayPal.
Buyer never responds and I find out that the number they provided is for a Handyman's Service in another State....even more bizarre it seems the handyman's residential or business address entered into Google 3 years ago also does not exist? Noew of course, it is possible the buyer changed their mind due to inconvenience, but still does not explain wrong number or non existant address and when i SMS'd the buyer at the same time as emailing about needing to cancel I did not recieve a response to say "wrong number mate"...all very weird. Just wondered any experienced sellers thoughts on this? Would you report to ACORN or a Police report?
