Had a buyer claim his son used his x-wife's credit card instead of his and if I would just refund him, he will immediately repurchase with his card. Problem is, I already mailed it out. It did go to a guy and the PayPal transaction was with a woman's name but who's to say it isn't some punk kid trying to get something for free? It was only a $25 card so it's hard to imagine someone would go through this for $25 but then again, a 12 year old kid might..I simply told this person that they are welcome to return the card and I will gladly refund them.
Anyone seen this as a scam attempt before??

No but if you still had the card I would do it but you are doing the right thing.

Agreed, thanks. That's what I get for being a top rated seller and mailing stuff out same or next day!! It is pretty sneaky, to wait to see if the post office accepted the package before asking for refund. The females name on the transaction lends credibility, but still, if he pays again and it's a different address associated with the new card, then my current tracking info in invalid and then I'm completely exposed and they could say it never arrived.
