I have sent a report to ebay about this buyer/buyers/syndicate (?) who appear to be operating from Malaysia. I sold a bike to a bidder who came in at the last minute. We then had price quibble then talk of delayed payment and when I insisted on payment, which did come and was lodged with ebay, I discovered the buyer was not 'collection in person only' but someone in Malaysia operating through what appears to be a network in this country. A box was to come from a recognised bike delivery company for me to put the bike in and I would receive labels to print off the day before. Of course this didn't happen. I contacted ebay who cancelled the transaction and refunded the buyer's money as I had no idea what the endgame was going to be. Since then I have been messaged often several times a day, even offering more money, and persistently asking me to sell him the bike. I asked that there be no more communication but it didn't stop. Then yesterday a tatty used box for a bike arrived with Hermes with no indication from whom or where it had come. I wasn't here and unfortunately someone accepted it. My ex 'buyer' is now messaging to ask for my Paypal account so that I can forward the empty box to someone in England and I will be 'refunded' via Paypal. Can I just leave the box sitting outside to take its chances? Thanks, Eunice
