Buyer trying to extort money from seller

I'm really annoyed 😡

I sold an item and posted it off with Simple Delivery via Evri. As happens sometimes, tracking was hanging as "courier has parcel" for a few days and eventually the buyer sent a message telling me what the tracking says and asking if the item has been posted 🤷🏼‍♂️

I replied that yes it has been posted which the tracking says but I will try and chase Evri for an update.

Next day buyer messages to say they've got the parcel but had to collect it from a RM Depot and that they had to pay £7 because the postage hadn't been paid so I should pay them £7!!!

Of course I referred them to eBay because the parcel was sent with Evri,had a prepaid (via eBay) Evri label on and RM would have no way of contacting the buyer to ask for payment.

Absolute scammer needs taking off eBay immediately 😡

I think the problem lies with PO.

My local PO accepts RM and Evri parcels, so quite possible item got put in wrong bag.

Ask buyer for copy of RM card as proof it was true.
