Got this eBay Message

[Yeti]

Hi, I'm sending the game as a gift to my son in Tustin ca. not my usual ebay address ...so just making sure it goes to Thomas Pepe, 3308 Sage st. , Tustin Ca. 92782...thanks , gerard120

Is this a scam or no? Thank you so much!

Make it go to the address in the profile as they can call and say it was delivered to the wrong house.

I would not trust it man. What is the product, if you don't mind my asking?

Sounds sketchy, call up eBay if you're not sure, they'll give you a definitive answer.

I'm pretty sure you should just send it to the address you were supplied, not the message address.

Call up eBay, you'll get a definitive answer, I was expecting them to be a new member to be honest.. Although, you could just take his word and send it to the address he listed you.

I don't know. Accept it? Lol. If he is sending it for free, what could be the worst. If anything, say it was sent to the wrong address.

Don't do it. I was selling a pair of shoes and the person sent me THE SAME EXACT MESSAGE, so it seemed sketchy so I waited and eBay cancelled it due to it being a "suspicious user".

He could be using a hacked ebay account.

I would reply to his message and tell him that you can't send it to that address, only to the one listed with his account.

If he still insists that you send to the other address just refund his payment.

After looking this up on Google and eBay forums, you're definitely better to NOT send it to the address that he wants.

"The first thing that buyers need to know is that Paypal *requires* sellers to ship to the listed address on the Paypal transaction in order to be protected by Paypal's Seller Protection Policy . "

That's one thing I found, I'll PM you the actual link now.

 

[Poison]

Yeah, don't listen to what I said LOL!

I don't use eBay enough to know about this shit.

 

[Poop]

You got your money. Send it to the buyers listed address. Let him ship it to the other address himself.
