I look at their address and google map it to see if they are in a bad area or if they are at some kind of business address. I like nice suburban homes the best.
I don't sell questionable items to do that. Tell you one thing though. I once had an order where the address was a Correctional Institution in Florida. I checked who the recipient was and couldn't believe what I found, I'm not going to say it but they were serving time for convictions as a serial offender of one of the worst crimes you can think of

LoL WoW! Way too much work! And how do you know if a particular address is in a bad area or not? I guess you google that too huh? LoL.

I do it on over 500$ items cause I rarely sell beyond that price. No APO's. On amazon I price electronic stuff way high to mask my inventory. You should see how many scammers buy off of me but I cancel.
Actually, in those cases where you're concerned that the buyer might be paying with a stolen credit card or with the intent to rip you off of your merchandise, business addresses are a far lower risk. This is because most of the people that do that either have it shipped to someone else's home address that they've convinced to receive things for them, or pose as the resident of a vacant or other property where they're getting it delivered - invariably suburban rows of houses.
You used to be able to call the Amazon seller help desk and argue your case to get a negative feedback taken down. But they no longer take phone calls - now you can only email them, which only ever results in a form mail response.
amazon is the worst place to get feedback from buyers. I sold 115 items to date and only receive 14 feedback. I emailed buyers every week telling them how to leave feedback with no luck. Its like emailing robots it seems.
sold about 20 items and still no feedback even after sending out a very nice feedback request e-mail. amazon is killing me. it takes like what... 2 minutes?
