I checked a summary of my orders and there is one buyer from Egypt.
I certainly never shipped to Egypt. This is a glitch of Bricklink that assumed
I had an order from Egypt because one of my buyers changed his address to Egypt
some time after I shipped to him.

Now the puzzle: how can I find who that buyer is? Just curious.

- I have checked my feedbacks. Nobody from Egypt. So we did not leave a feedback
for each other.
- there are about 200 users from Egypt. I can search their usernames, one-by-one,
in my email address. This works, assuming that buyer did not change his username
since he ordered from me.

Is there any smart way to find-out who this buyer is?

The emailed invoice should have their username in it, you can search for that
in your email client

Puzzled solved by a fellow in the US!

Apprently I left that buyer a feedback in 2021.

His address was in Canada, so a search of "Egypt" in my email did not
give any result, as mentioned in my original post.
