Selling on Ebay and getting the package back

[built2shred]

I sold a statue on ebay to a buyer who had a gibberish name and 0 rating, he/she paid for the statue so I shipped it but it came back a few days ago from USPS saying it was undeliverable and there was no forwarding address, I emailed him through Ebay asking if his/her address was wrong on their Ebay account but there has been no reply back

Curious if this has happen to anyone else, given his name was gibberish and a zero rating makes me wonder if this was some sort of scam that didn't go to plan for him

that's what you call money well earned.

Might have been an overseas buyer using a freight forwarding service that didn't get the details right. I wouldn't sell to anyone using a freight forwarding at first, then just added signature required so the original stop had to sign for it. Seemed to protect me as a seller.

This particular issue had not happened to me but ebay has not been fun. I sent a New In Box lego star wars to someone, box got dented in transit and had to discount $50.00. It was close to taking the full refund but the shipping screws you. 25.00 to ship to them, then I would have to pay 25.00 back, so the 50 was break even.
