Buyer no longer responds! Fraud?
Hello, I sold an item and sent it. The buyer wanted the item delivered to a parcel locker. The item has arrived at the locker, but the buyer is not picking it up. In addition, they are not responding or getting in touch. How can I proceed here?

MentorJul 16, 2026 at 7:04 PMPlease explain to us what’s supposed to be fraud about that?
If the buyer doesn’t pick it up, the item comes back, you cancel the purchase and refund! There’s nothing, absolutely nothing, fraudulent about that!

OPJul 16, 2026 at 7:16 PMwell, for me this is a fake purchase under the fact that I had contact with the buyer via messages, and he in turn pushed for everything. Also, I never claimed that he had defrauded me, rather it is merely a headline for a possible suspicion!

MentorJul 16, 2026 at 7:18 PMNo, you are clearly alleging fraud here and you clearly mean your buyer! You should be very careful with such statements in public, they can backfire massively.
