I initially had numerous suspicions with this buyer:

- they had 0 feedback with this eBay id,
- numerous complaints connected with another account registered to the same name and address (3 issues within the last year on their eBay feedback, and 2 complaints on external websites),
- they sent me a message after winning the auction with very poor grammar and strange logic regarding when they could pay.

If it was only one or two of these red flags, I would have not been too concerned, but everything together was just too much for me to risk sending a $700 laptop. I have had issues in the past with hacked accounts and spoofed addresses on eBay, and am wary of doing business with buyers like this.

When I informed them that I would not ship the item and that they should not pay, they became very aggressive and refused to acknowledge my concerns, and in the end they left scathing feedback. I have never dealt with such a difficult and unreasonable person on eBay. What a drama! BEWARE!
