  *MC067 Suspicious buyer for item 390364113122*

	

	
	

Hello nickjay78 (nickjay49 at gmail.com),

We had to cancel bids for the following buyer because they aren't 
registered on eBay:

dorhawi

Please don't complete the transaction and don't ship the item. You may 
have received an email saying the buyer has paid. However, that's 
probably a fake message. To check if you actually received a payment, 
please log in to your PayPal account. Also, be sure to report fake 
emails to us. For more information, visit:
http://pages.ebay.com/help/account/questions/report-spoof-email.html

If you've already shipped the item and didn't receive a payment, you can 
request a final value fee credit for the listing. To find out how, go to:
http://pages.ebay.com/help/sell/credits.html

To help you avoid this situation in the future, consider setting a Buy 
It Now price and requiring buyers to make an immediate payment. For more 
information on immediate payments, visit:
http://pages.ebay.com/help/pay/require-immediate-payment.html

Also, please consider taking the following action:

1. Contact the company that was used to send payment to verify whether 
funds have cleared.

2. If the funds are fraudulent, contact law enforcement in the buyer's 
area and give them the buyer's name, address, phone number, and any 
other information that may be helpful. If someone is assigned to your 
case, please ask them to contact us so that we can help with the 
investigation.

3. Contact the shipping carrier to find out if you can stop shipment on 
the package.

4. If you used the U.S. Postal Service (USPS) to ship the package, 
consider filing a complaint at:
https://postalinspectors.uspis.gov/forms/MailFraudComplaint.aspx

5. File a complaint with the National Consumers League's (NCL) Fraud 
Center at:
http://www.fraud.org

If you have any concerns or questions, click "Customer Support" at the 
top of most eBay pages.

We're sorry for this inconvenience, and thanks for continuing to work 
with us.

Thanks,

eBay
