I was just reading (and replying) to a thread which featured a suspicious buyer (it was on page 4 and was not the original subject of the thread) but the thread has disappeared! (I think, unless I am being stupid and have misremembered where I found it....)
Someone called Betty (artauctions?) had the identical buyer to myself purchase a picture and say that their agent was going to pack it. Perhaps because she mentioned the buyer's name, the thread disappeared?
My buyer, the same one, going by a girl's name but speaking like a bloke, has sent me a long and overly detailed email about where she/he is (on a ship), why he is paying PayPal (well, I ask for PayPal anyway) and it is clear this is the beginning of a scam. I want to cancel the sale entirely to get my fees back but the link to customer support on my console says "not available". Can I just mark as non-paying bidder now even though the buyer clearly wants to pay (by fraudulent means I suspect) and get my fees back that way? I would ideally like to contact customer support but my way seems to be barred. Any help appreciated!
