Urgent Assistance Req: Possible Scammer?
Hi there.
Wonder if someone can help me. I've sold 6 fairly valuable items today, all paid for individually by Paypal to the same buyer to the total of around £1000.
Originally he requested that I send out the items today (he purchased around 3pm). I got back and said that they'll be sent first thing in the morning, but that I'll upgrade the postage to Special Delivery free of charge. He then asked to come and collect (even though he is probably about 2 hours away).
Although his buying habits are obscure, his Paypal/Ebay name are the same and his email address links to the correct Facebook name. His address is also listed in an expensive apartment complex within Central London.
My questions:
1. If I send the items tomorrow to the confirmed Paypal address, am I protected just incase this is something scammy?
2. If I do send them, can I just send them as 1 parcel or will I need to send 6 individual parcels to be eligible for any possible buyer protection?
3. If he collects, would I be covered if I was to send any item (of similar weight) to the confirmed address?
Thanks for any help with this one!
