Isn’t it to just target people dumb/internet illiterate enough to fall for these scams? Sorta the same as the nigerian prince email system, saves them time dicking about with people who slowly realise it’s a scam if they just go for the real dumbasses from the start.
Just looking to sell this. I bought it from Soul Sense in Luton new. I think the shop was gone before the represses arrived. It’s going on discogs as I see the repress came in a plain sleeve. Goes for strong coin now by the looks of things.
Basically the matrix and the cover puts it into the most in demand category as far as I tell. Help welcome as I’m sure this record has been through many a TP user.
Looking for a bit of help. Just sold my first record on Discogs (£35) but pretty certain it might be a dodgy sale.
Buyer is listed as living in Indonesia and has no feedback. Shipping Address is to a different name and in London. The PayPal payment address matches the delivery address but it feels a bit dodgy.
I can send tracked delivery and add all the details to PayPal but a bit wary of sending it. Any advice would be much appreciated.
What’s your concern? If the PayPal address and delivery address match, I wouldn’t be too worried. You’ve been paid by the person receiving the record, right?
I’d have more of an issue if they didn’t match.
Maybe the person in Indonesia also has a London address. Cheaper to ship there maybe?
I messaged them to double check and they said exactly that
Just panicked a bit with it being my first sale and them having no feedback. They have paid and the PayPal and delivery address match in both. I’ll post out and send tracked. and sure all will be fine.
Sounds like you’ve sorted it, but right to be cautious. I had an ebay sale to a UK address which turned out to be an onwards shipping operation to the US. All fine but the buyer then complained about the cost of shipping UK to USA, which i wasnt even aware was happening and wasnt organised by me. Not sure who was naive in that sale - maybe both of us, but its me with the negative feedback.
As a resident of Brazil I can tell you I have bought several records and sent them to friends travelling in London, the US and other places. I always make sure the paypal address matches. It happens because either shipping to my country is too expensive, customs/tax is prohibitive, or sellers simply won’t ship here.
