Thanks for replying, I appreciate it.If the buyer has had their account hacked that would mean the buyer also had their eBay account hacked, entered into correspondence with me and asked 3 times for discounts, let two offers elapse, bought the third offer but didn't pay until they got the warning from eBay after 7 days, frequently told me they were short of money then on the day attempted delivery is made they claim to their financial institution,(ie credit company not PayPal) that the transaction was unauthorised. The eBay and PayPal delivery addresses and names both match and of course I sent tracked and signed to the correct Paypal address. So I guess that means I'm covered. Also the buyer is not now responding to messages through eBay which if they weren't trying to defraud me is rather odd. My guess is he wants to get the payment delayed or is fraudulent. Or both. I don't believe for a minute his account has been hacked given the 2 weeks worth of saved messages and offers made on this item. If you hack the account you just buy it straight away you don't engage in 3 sets of pleading for a small discount. Just hope I'm covered. eBay especially is truly dreadful in terms of seller protection against fraud.
