Fake Buyer

[gerard-c]

Hi all

I want to share a bad experience I've had. 

I'm selling a computer and over the last 2 weeks I've received messages of some fake buyers trying to buy it.

The problem I have is my publication gets on hold till Allegro proves these buyers don't actually have money, then my publication goes to back online. All in all, it takes like 7 days out of Allegro.

I guess they do this since they're selling the same products, then they will have better options to sell.

What's the process to stop this happening ? How can Allegro block those fake users ?

Thanks in advance

Gerardo

PS. Just in case you have the issue, they're using this reason ...

Jestem studentką informatyki i przestawiam się ze swojego MacBooka, który niestety został zalany. Proszę o zarezerwowanie komputera do piątku. We czwartek otrzymuję przelew z wypłatą i zrealizuję przelew poprzez Allegro - bezpośrednio na konto PayU, także płatność powinna się zaksięgować automatycznie. Proszę tylko o przygotowanie sprzętu i wylogowanie z wszelkich kont, jeśli były logowania do iCloud. Interesuje mnie wysyłka - najlepiej kurierem, gdyż wtedy paczka jest w pełni ubezpieczona. Adres podaję w formularzu Allegro. Gdybym nie odbierała telefonu, proszę mailową

@gerard-c, on Allegro Lokalnie, the lack of payment within the period specified in the regulations results in the termination of the sales contract. Then your offer will automatically renew after 5 days, unless you opt out of this option.

Thanks, I know this is working like this but still, imagine this: over the last 20 days, my publication was on hold for like 10 days waiting for a fake buyer to pay.

Is there any option that Allegro offers to report those fake users?

They are nothing but destroying the community.

@gerard-c Why are you using Lokalnie? It's full of the different kind "jokers".....

Thanks for the tip, I'm new here.

I'm learning while I go, I've realized just now.

I'll check how to list on Allegro only.

Thanks for the recommendation!

I'm still trying to find the option to avoid listing articles in Allegro Lokalnie.

Every time I sell something, it's automatically posted in both websites, don't know how to disable it. If you know what's the trick, I appreciate your help.

Btw, I've got 2 new "fake buyers" last week ;(
