I suspect you may be right. It is just my personal policy to check QRZ
for address confirmation before completing any transaction with another
ham. It is just an added measure of confidence to me. The fact the
gentleman had no address information on QRZ certainly could be as you
say or as one other person suggested, the call sign was highjacked. I
rarely sell except when updating my station and always use PayPal. If
the buyer doesn't like PayPal then there is no sale. I ship when PayPal
has the funds in hand, and I follow up with the tracking information to
PayPal as proof of shipment. I also tell my buyer he has 7 days to
return the item to me in original condition for a full refund if he/she
is not completely satisfied. So far it has all worked for me and I have
not suffered any loss in the few internet sales I have made.

Not so. That callsign shows up several places on Google... was even a

I'm not saying that he's a crook or anything, and I wouldn't be
surprised to find that this complaint was the result of bad
communication between the parties, but the callsign seems legit.
Personally, I find these gripe posts with unproven accusations to be
totally annoying and out of place here.

Bill, To all appearances that call sign is bogus. The QRZ.com name of
record is unusual and and address composed only of BC, Canada is a
bit on the suspicious side. QRZ.com reports the call sign record as
unmanaged. That would be a "no sale" for me. I hope you did not
suffer a loss.
