expert advice - As in September 2017, SharePoint 2019 is the talk of the town because of exciting features.

Background: I have just recently sold a pricey item to a buyer with over 200 positive feedback - no negatives or neutrals. Immediately following the sale, I received an email from a different user 0 feedback and newly reginstered that day claiming to have won the item with a request to send to a different address. I responded that I would only send to the address on paypal with a signature confirmation. I received no response and the ebay ID is now unregistered. My first thought was that the buyer was trying to scam me using a different ID so that his good ID would not be reported. Then when I send the item, I'll be faced with another scam like an INR. Now I am thinking that the note was sent from a third party trying to scam us both and that the initial buyer is actually legit. Either way - my red flags are up. Wondering expert sellers - what would you think in this situation - and how would you proceed to protect yourself from being scammed. By sending to the paypal address and using signature confirmation am I completely protected? I have already submitted a report that the buyer made an unreasonable demand.

So I am guessing the scammer searched recently closed expensive items and started contacting the sellers with a new address with the hopes that the unexperienced seller me!

I am glad that you got wise to everything and would only ship your items only to the confirmed address. Also, If a legitimate buyer ever requests to ship to a different address, insist that the buyer change the shipping address on their PayPal account to where they want it shipped and reconfirm it. Also, sometimes tricksters send fake emails that could compromise their targets accounts, if links are clicked or the target logs in from that email.
