So about a week ago my auction for a complete carded set of 25th Anniversary figs +Doc ended.
(G.I. Joe 25th Anniversary: complete W1-13 +Doc (MOC) - eBay (item 170342188966 end time Jun-18-09 07:22:27 PDT)) The day the auction ended I sent the winning bidder an invoice. A week passed and I sent an email wondering whether the transaction would be honored. Yesterday, I sent a 2nd email notice. I did not hear from the buyer until today, NINE DAYS after auctions' end. This is what the buyer wrote: "Sorry, i hadnt gotten back to u i have not checked my ebay account in a while. Evidently my son had decided to bid on these w/out my knowledge. I am not backing out i will pay u but i do not have access to a secure computer/paypal account until i get back home on Monday night or early Tuesday. I will make the payment immediately when i get home if that is ok. I can send u $100 of the payment via paypal from my balance on there right now to show i will pay the rest. I just have to wait to i get home to pay the rest with my checking account thru paypal and to also feel safe about it. LMK, if u want the $100 this weekend or want all of it at one. Sorry again. I will also probably be sending an alternate address to ship to when i pay thru paypal, because i feel my son doesnt need them right now. Thanks" My alarm bells are going off like crazy. Am I being paranoid? Any advice how to proceed? He might not be trying to scam you but just be careful on this one which ever way you proceed with it.

On one hand, it's an illegal transaction anyhow. If the child is a minor, it might as well be null and void.
Ebay's rules say that you must be 18 to have or use an account, so if you press it, Ebay should take care of it and it may get that person's account suspended. But, I've read through the rest of the thread and see that it's already taken care of. All is well that ends well.

One quick update.
So the original buyer agreed to cancel the transaction. I promptly blocked his account to prevent his "son" from bidding on my auctions ever again. Listed it as a second chance offer to the runner-up, and BAM! we are in business. Just waiting for cleared payment and hopefully everything goes smoothly the way it should have in the first place. Anyway, my gratitude to you Tankers knows no bounds. Thanks again!

If his son bid on something that pricey with no consent, I don't think he would just be "Ah well, I'll just pay for it..." Maybe if it was like 15 bucks, but not something over 100.

If the parents dont trust their kids then they shouldnt have the password. I think alot of buyers use their kids as a scapegoat and its bs.But thats just my opinion. But if you do choose to ship to a different address,make sure you keep the message from him telling you to and make sure you have tracking.I hope this helps.
