A buyer wants me to post to an address not registered to his account?

[Sparklyblue]

Is this ok to do, I thought it had to be the address that is registered to the account?
Please help.

Tickets

I would absoulutely refuse to sell them to him.
Hurrah for you, for re listing :)

oh no! have only just come across this thread .

i posted something on saturday to a different address provided by the buyer (sister's they said). it wasnt the address as given by paypal, there was a 'note' attached to the payment receipt asking for the item to be posted elsewhere. i did, and sent it recorded (to my cost) but didnt realise that it would leave me with no protection.

i guess its too late for me to do anything now isnt it?

yes sadly it is too late unless your post office haven't dispatched it yet, I don't know if they would give you the item back now though.

finger-crossing time.

Oh no shelley, hope everything goes ok.

me too . i didnt even realise that this kind of thing was a bit iffy - maybe im a bit too trusting. so worst case scenario, what happens - i have no recourse? bloody hell. think i am going to steer clear of ebay for a while, there is too much to learn! i really cant afford to lose that money either AND ive left feedback already...

lo and behold, i just checked paypal and i have a red flag risk alert next to their payment. god i feel stupid

isn't the red flag thing a glitch that has happened recently.

how much was the item?

btw add the tracking info to the item now via eBay

it was £25 - but thats quite a bit to me at the moment. the item was paid for on thurs - i marked as despatched and added the RM number as soon as it was posted.

btw i seem to have to leaved feedback for people once they have bought an item, but sometimes i have nothing left for me as a seller. does this mean that service was really bad? i always try and post next day if possible, and package well

Shelly - no, it doesn't mean your service is bad, it just means some people don't bother leaving feedback, it's not compulsory and many people just wont bother - don't worry about it.

I hope your transaction works out OK. I often ask for stuff to be sent to other addresses - it's often just more convenient, it doesn't mean he's necessarily a bad 'un.

so do i! its in progress via royal mail, but not delivered yet. email sounded so polite, and genuine. fingers crossed

Well, I've took the big fat neg on the chin
He said:
Seller rather hostile in his communication. Unhelpful. Best avoided.
I'm a girl mister, lol.
I wasn't hostile at all, think he's just as he has already sold them to someone else.
I replied:
Buyer a bully. Wanted me to post to unregistered address. Worried it was a scam.

Hope this is the end of it now. Bit fed up I have a neg, but i'll wear it with pride. Just hope it doesn't put any buyers off.

that was a mistake, calling him a bully, should have left it at wanted me to post to an unregistered address, was worried it was a scam, makes you look unprofessional

Well he was a bully, so just stated fact, I don't think it was unprofessional, but that's just my opinion I suppose

Oh yes he was, but ebay dont like people leaving messages like that he will prob be able to get it removed if he complains.

Well lets hopw he dosn't then
I've relisted the tickets and put him on my bloked bidders list (just incase)

just an update from me - my item has been delivered today (according to RM). so do i need to do anything now? contact the buyer to say its been delivered to her sister - or not?

You could email and say "I see from Royal Mail Tracking that the (thing) was delivered at 09:00 today, I hope all is well and look forward to receiving your positive feedback. Best wishes, Shelley"

you don't need to do anything - best not ask for feedback tbh.
