Bit of an odd one this so interested to hear any thoughts as to what may be going on.
I recently sold something of reasonable value (£600) on Ebay. Only bidder had a Russian email address which had me a little worried & then two days after the auction end, no sign of payment. Checked with Ebay & you can now raise automated non-payment cases after two days, so I did. He paid almost immediately from a verified Paypal account & the transaction was eligible for Seller Protection. So despite my reservations I posted it RMSD (£25! ).
Now here's the odd bit. He wasn't in when RM tried to deliver so they left a card. Almost a week later he still hasn't collected it from the sorting office or replied to my prompts to do so. If he doesn't pick up today RM will return it to me tomorrow.
Anyone experienced similar? Is there a potential scam there I'm missing? His feedback is faultless, including comments. What happens to the deal as I've completed my part?
