I know there's a fair few of us here. There seems to be a new scam going on. They all go along the lines of
Hi,
I'm just checking to see if my order went through on the 15th. I'm showing it did, but paypal is saying it did not.
Thank you in advance,
xxxxxxxxxxxxx
I think the deal is, they are looking for busy/green sellers who won't bother checking and triple checking Paypal and guilting them into just sending out a replacement/refund for what ever item they've linked to. It's always from a sold out item.
I've just had my 5th in as many weeks. They never reply when I say there's no records of it, which is really convincing me they're bogus. Maybe this has been going on for a while, but I'd never had it before 5 weeks ago!

It is crap, but to be honest, this is a pretty tame one! But, it's also a lot more believable if you've not been selling long. I only twigged after the second time. I didn't send anyone money or products, but I took a lot of time checking, checking, checking and writing a message of apology!
