So you sell something on here, get the money sent to you pretty quick.

You then go to post the item, realise there was no address attached to the PayPal notes or in an email, email the buyer twice asking for the address and get no response after a couple of days.

Also in the period between the sale and the secondary contact you get 1/2 a dozen junk/spam emails from the buyers address, what do you do?

Wait for a reply.

Sounds more like the buyer has a problem which is why he/she hasn't got back to you?

Steve - edited my post after I realised the spam had come from the buyers address and not just 'normal' spam.

I'm trying to think of fraud possibilities if buyer claims non-delivery but can't really see how he can claim anything other than a refund which PP would handle without compromising your account.

Bit strange though! Was it a lot of money ie. the 5?

Buyers email account has been hacked.

They may not be able to access it so may not be able to respond to your email.
