Suspicious buyer for item

[sunsetpainter]

I just got this message on Ebay and in an email.  It wasn't an auction, but a buy-it-now with Immediate Payment Required.  The thing is, I shipped that last week, got paid, and it has been delivered.  The buyer is "No longer a registered user".  Do I even need to do anything or be concerned?

Hello sunset-painter,

We had to cancel bids for the buyer, xxx, because they aren't registered on eBay:
265204804304 - Easter Vest Craft Panel VIP DreamSpinners sizes XS S M L Uncut


We've also made it easy to relist your item if it was removed. Although the item is no longer available in search listings, you will find it in the Sold section of My eBay. For more information, please visit:
pages.ebay.com/help/sell/relist.html

To help you avoid this situation in the future, consider setting a Buy It Now price and requiring buyers to make an immediate payment. For more information on immediate payments, visit:
pages.ebay.com/help/pay/require-immediate-payment.html

We recommend you take the following actions if this buyer won the item:
- If you haven't received payment, don't complete the sale or send the item to the buyer.
- Don't communicate with the buyer directly.
- Verify any payments you've been notified of by logging into your payment account (or other online payment service).
- If the buyer requests a refund or additional payments, don't send any money without contacting eBay first.
- If you've already sent the item, try contacting the shipping carrier to find out if you can stop shipment.

In these types of situations, we may, at our sole discretion, decide whether to credit the fees for removed listings.

- We have credited any associated fees to your account.


If you have any concerns or questions, click "Help & Contact" at the top of most eBay pages.

We're sorry for this inconvenience, and thanks for continuing to work with us.

Thanks,

eBay

Same thing happened to me on an international purchase. It was already paid and shipped so I didn't worry about it. This was a few months ago and I haven't heard anything since.

I have had a few of those several years ago. I got paid and shipped. Then I got the eBay message. The money was taken back from me.

I wouldn't worry about it. There's nothing you can do at this point. But since eBay was confused about whether it was even an auction and about the timing, chances are everything will be all right. They probably did something sketchy after your sale.

Did some digging and it appears the address I sent it to is a shipping service for China. I only sell Internationally with GSP. But it was delivered to that address so I believe I'm off the hook!

I've had that happen, too - nothing came of it.

I've had it happen as well, awhile ago, but there was no issue. Nothing you can do at this point anyway.

I agree.  I just found it funny that Ebay thought it was an auction instead of fixed price, and proceeded to instruct me to use Buy-It-Now with Immediate Payment Required...which is what it was!  lol
