Hi, I am new to selling and have just had an order for £1.00 with shipping to
Germany from the UK and payment has been made via paypal. Order was for non rare
items that can easily be purchased in own country at much lower shipping rate.
Buyer has been on Bricklink for almost a year with zero feedback.

Would like advice as to whether this is a possible scam in some way or any scams
in general to look out for.

Thank you for any help.

That's the problem this is a newbie, he may not know he could get it cheaper.
If you feel uncomfortable ship it with tracking if it's cheap enough?
But I'd simply ship.

I also don't think it's a scam, they're not getting anything valuable
to make it worth it. More likely someone who didn't notice or didn't
care about the shipping costs, keeps happening to me too. You could write a message
and ask "Are you sure?", but if they ordered and paid, I'd say it's
their free will.

Thanks for your replies and help. I messaged them and they just wrote back that
it was a mistake.
