Hi,

 

I only use paypal if I am using Ebay, but last sunday I made a payment to a friend/family for an iPad now I know stupid enough I dont know the person I met her via Depop she was selling me an iPad. We have been in contact and stuff she sent me a screen shot of the recepit that she had sent the item through the post office, I am only just realising I did not give her my address she has sent it does my address show up on the transaction ?

If you did not add an address in the note or comment field as you are sending F&Fpayment, there is no address.  Did she get the address off Depop, ya think?


Kudos & Solved are greatly appreciated. 🙂

Ask her what address she shipped to.  If the address is wrong, she will need to intercept the package asap at the post office:

Thanks I've wrote to her, I can't believe how stupid I was for doing this, my head just wasn't with it when I was doing it. she sent it via second class post as well so there is no tracker number. Is there away I could speak with the branch it was sent through because there is a session ID on the receipt thanks again

And you do realize that you have no buyer protection for sending a personal payment for goods, right?  She could have made some kind of bogus mailing to get a receipt and you would receive nothing.

I feel so stupid. She has a full DEPOP page where she sells etc, I will hang fire until she gets back. I'll need to get the person reported if she is scamming because there is probably daft people out there like me getting scammed
