An item i have for sale got an "agree to purchase" from a buyer, and he paid me the purchase price, plus shipping about a week ago. At the time he paid, he also told he would send me his "shipping address" later. I didn't have a problem with this, but sensed some uneasiness. I have the money in possession that he mailed me($175), so there is no worries there. I wondered if this was some kind of scam,or whatever? It has been a week and I have never heard back from him. My shipping address would be something I would definitely include with payment. What are your thoughts???
Thanks, Tom

I assume you have tried to contact him through emails, etc....
Try the personal communication through "Message Inbox" here on Astromart--your emails to him may be getting blocked.

I would like to know a bit more about who the buyer is? How many ratings, how long has he been a member???

Thomas,

As others have suggested, wait another week. If you still don't hear anything from him by then I would simply initiate the PayPal refund. Other than the buyer missing out on a 5mm T6 Nagler, nobody gets hurt. No need to anguish much about it. Then relist it and everybody has a shot at it, including the same prospective buyer.

I received his address this morning, thankfully, and will be shipping the eyepiece asap. He said he gave me his shipping address a week ago, but all he gave me was this transmission via paypal stating he would send the address later. Nonetheless, he didn't seem upset. Here is a copy of the paypal payment he sent me, including a note saying he would send the address later.
Thanks for all your help here,
Tom
