EBAY question, buying asking for invoice

[paper1225]

I am not new to ebay, but only sell/buy a few things a month. I had received an enfimil coupon ($10) in the mail, but do not need it.........looked on ebay and people were selling these.......it does not state on the coupon to not sell-so I listed it.......the seller took forever to pay(cashiers check via paypal I think) and now is asking for me to send an invoice with the check so the buyer can know who it is from. Also, the buyers info is private.........they have a great rating-but it all seems strange to me-and am now a little scared to send.......why would someone keep their history private? help

My guess and this is only a guess, that many small retail owners purchase these and turn them in for the cash. If you look at some who buy these they have bought more then anyone could ever use and don't care if they are expired or not, or how much they are for, 50 $1 ones of course aren't nearly as good. My friend has sold some of hers and always looks into who has bought them, I personally do not welcome bidders like that (although hard to really block or know IF they are buying for that reason), but that would be one reason to keep feedback private. Normally people don't want others to know what is going on if it is shady or somewhat shady. Sometimes it is completely innocent though. The invoice would be because he is buying so many that he can't keep it straight very easily. Just my opinion.

Some people keep their feedback private so other people don't know what they are buying. Could be innocent like they want to hide an Easter present they bought for their kids or it could be shady. If you want to be nosey you can find out their recent purchases. Under the search box click on advanced search, on left hand side click on items by bidder, put in their ebay ID, check box that says include completed listing in last 30 days, and check even if not high bidder. This will pull up everything they have bought or bid on in the last 30 days. I'll admit it, I'm nosey. Whenever I get a bidder with private feedback I always do this.
I wouldn't be too worried about sending it. They may have purchased the coupons from a few different sellers and just want to keep track.
