I sold an item on ebay.? -

Hello guys, I sold a item on ebay and the buyer emailed me that he will collect the item from me next day. He came near my address the next day to collect the phone and I went with the item near him. He was standing near a shop on a street. So as i mat him he said i dont want to do this transaction on the street but in your house. I was not to sure about this. So i took him outside my door and then he again said i dont want to do it outside but I want to do it in your house. So i took him in. He stared asking me questions about why r u selling the item and how my more do you have and he said i need to go on ebay and click the item saying that you have received the money. All this questions he should have asked when he wanted to buy the item.It looked like he just wanted to take his time in.I done what he said and then he asked me that he needs a written receipt from me with his addess and my address and that he has paid cash on collection.I dont know if i have done the right thing taking him in my house. Do you think i have done the right thing and was it safe. The buyer had over 100 feedbacks on ebay and so did I. The buyer looked bit strange.

His behavior is definately strange.He s right about marking the item paid. You should definately do that. And some people want a receipt for anything they buy, ever.He definately should have asked any questions about the item before bidding. But it doesn t sound like he was asking you personal questions, so that s good.It s his insistance that it be done at your house that concerns me. And inside the door wasn t good enough; he wanted to go all the way in the house. I get the feeling he could be casing it, to try to break in later.I did a search on ebay and didn t find any useful information about suspicious buyers and local pickups, unfortunately. I would suggest contacting them, either by email, chat or phone (you have to go to help, contact us, type in a question, then select a best answer before you can call or email). Ask if they have any advise.Next time insist on meeting at a public place. You really never know who you re dealing with online, unfortunately.If the guy really rubbed you wrong I d contact the local police and start looking into home defense/security options, personally.

Never let a stranger into your home. He could have done something very terrible and nobody would of noticed. When you have something for sale on ebay, make sure to let buyers know that PICKUP IS NOT AVAILABLE. That will keep you safe, and the buyer safe. Just have the buyer pay for shipping.
