I’ve actually switched off inpost and Evri as options on my Vinted account. I only use Yodel - I’ve had zero issues with them. I sent lots of parcels on Monday and they all arrived yesterday!

Do you mean best offer? If she doesn’t pay then eBay will black mark her. If it’s budding surely she was the top bidder so you haven’t lost out from others bidding?
No, she won the auction with her bid, so I was expecting her to pay for the item for me to ship. But the bid was very close, and I’ve never had a bidder not pay immediately or within a few hours before…

As it was a bid you haven’t lost out. If she doesn’t pay you can offer it to the next person. She will get a ding on her account if she doesn’t pay.

Oh I didn’t realise I could offer it to the next person? I thought I had to relist the item again, how do you do this?

It doesn’t mean the person will but it but it saves some hassle if they do.

For anybody waiting for parcels from Evri mine have moved really quickly overnight, sent on different days and are available to pick up now so it seems they may have started clearing the backlog 🙂

I am beyond freaked out.
The buyer continues to create fake accounts.
I am being harassed. It’s 8 accounts so far.
I’ve reported this to eBay numerous times. Nothing is being done.
They have now bidded on an item and have won.

The names don’t match up at all. The account name and the name I had to send it to was V V???
The address given is a listed rented property online.
I am freaked out as on PayPal it will show my full name.
I have refunded them the item.
What do I do ?

If you are sure they are the same person I would log it with the police for online harassment/stalking,

have you setup a block on profiles with less than so many reviews? This would stop the new profiles.

I thought I have but it seems to not work.
Do you think the police will take me seriously?
It has to be the same person. It’s non stop.

I know they are scammers as I have seen other people reviews on their profiles.
Ever since I’ve reported them to eBay it’s relentless.

I guess technically they haven’t done anything to hurt you but if you are afraid or it’s affecting you in any way then they should. Do you know who the person is?

I think the next time they purchase a low value item. I will send the item and see what occurs.
They have created 9 accounts. I don’t know whether to laugh or cry. It’s so pathetic.
I am going to ignore now. Don’t block or retaliate.

Document everything and I think if it carries on for the next 2 weeks. I may just delete my eBay account.
I have sent a message to eBay on social media so hopefully they respond.

Thanks reading and giving me some advice.
I have experienced revenge porn and it ruined my life as an early adult.I go into straight panic mode in these type of situation.

I know it’s not ideal, but could you possibly open another eBay account? I know you will have to start with 0 feedback, but you could buy a few things (presents etc) I think that could give you peace of mind? That way if someone is following you as a buyer they can no longer bid on any of your items.

I hope it stops as it must be very nerve wrecking 💜

I bought a cheap toy as a Christmas present for my cat off Depop 2 weeks ago. It hasn’t arrived yet, so I requested a refund. The person replied saying that they’ll send me a refund, but they sent it out the day after I ordered. If it does turn up now I’ll feel so guilty
 
I'm honestly so sick of people receiving their things which they've purchased off me but not marking that they're happy with it.


Meaning I have to wait days For my money.

One person even ignored a polite message off me and still Never clicked everything is OK.

Yes you are right. Thank you! ❤
All the items that are on my existing account I don’t think I can sell so they don’t try to find me.
I think in the New Year I will set up a new account.

People are bleeping idiots. The money has left their account anyways so what difference does it make?

Some people really do sell whatever they can find don’t they?
These are what we use in the NHS hospital I work in 🤣🤣🤣
See its the things I randomly find lying around that tend to sell for full price and very quickly for me. But then the real nice stuff takes ages. Probably says alot about the vinted demographic. *runs back to vinted for a bargain*
