Had an auction close on Thursday, 2/22.

Emailed the bidder a second time on 2/26 after hearing nothing from EOA.

Bidder has 0 feedback. UHOH!

Got an email saying they would be sending personal check and would have a shipping address for me by today? Are they homeless?

I do not usually hold checks for clearing, I always ship immediately. This one worries me. Because of the delay in response and the shipping address remark.

Am I being paranoid? Should I hold the item or go ahead? This is an item that had been relisted for the 3rd time and the whole sale is under $20.00.

Always trust your instincts. Better safe than sorry.

I've had quite a few buyers tell me they're not comfortable sending their address over email. They just send their info with payment. Maybe they're in the witness protection program or something. LOL

You can send an address in a couple of emails if you are paranoid. I frankly don't buy that sort of white knuckle scenario. Who are they hiding from?
