Thats most likely a forwarding address.
As long as your tracking number shows delivery to THAT address, you're good.
Ship and don't worry about it.

I listed a camera for $1,500 on FB yesterday and I got a message from a Nedyalka Robeva(Dimanche) which is a strange profile. I can't determine if it is a ⊗⊗⊗⊗ account just yet, but my BS meter is almost at 90%. Link to their FB profile:

Anyway they want to pay using PayPal and they want to send the product to the address that is mentioned at the beginning of this thread. What really got me started was he wanted to pay and additional $200 for shipping. Which normally if you are buying something expensive you account for those times of things. I make up a invoice and send it to their email account, Kiloway700@outlook.com for $1819. About 30 mins later I get this email below.

END EMAIL********

I mean I can see on the email where whom ever wrote it actually used the tab function to get to the spacing correct. Then I went online and found you guys to figure out if the address is a scam or not? Did the writer of this post get screwed over by losing their shipped item?

Funny part is I actually know this area of NYC and I know a business owner who is right around the corner from this address. I should have them go there and see what is what.. lol They are some towing guys who aren't the nicest people if you tick them off, but honestly both of us have better things to do, like rearranging my sock drawer.

I have a feeling this is all a bunch of BS. Please thoughts, ideas, or confirmation would be much appreciated 👍

I was a bit worried when I got my first sale with an address like that as well, but in the end it was all good. I even had a few more sales like this and never caused any problems. Make sure to use a carrier that uses signatures though. And by the way, if its a forwarding address and your buyer claims the item was broken or anything, eBay got you covered with addresses like these and they will not accept the claim

Signature confirmation doesn't help much, it just costs more.

off topic, PayPal used to require signature for items over $250 to get you covered

used to be 750. Do they not require anything?

Also, I noticed that a buyer can open a dispute after tracking information is no longer even available to view on the shippers website... Anyone experience that one?

Angry Re: Should I ship item? Scam? Need help asap!

Absolute scam and they are still going strong as of today. Your post was from 2017 & because I was too foolish not too look into sites like these, I had to stop an overnight shipment to this address at 5:30 am. That is how long it took me to figure out that they use incorrect domain names and send false email from Ebay & PayPal. Unfortunately, this was my first Ebay sale as I should have researched much more. They set you up with the PayPal request, have you overnight it, and from what I've learned from others....receive item and then cancel PayPal. I was so freaking livid but I guess I only have myself to blame. Sucks that scum like this even exist but I guess it is the world in which we live.
