Help with interception problem

I sold something on eBay and realized after I shipped it that it’s probably a scam. So to be safe I’m trying to intercept it but it’s saying the address is invalid on the interception request. My best guess is to put the closest thing to the address until it’s a valid address. Does anybody know what to do or how to fix this?

Fell for a freight forwarding scam - need help urgently!!

I sold a package to a known freight forwarding address( I found out after I shipped it). I was trying to intercept the package through usps because I’m worried I will not win the eBay case. The problem is the package says it cannot be intercepted cause I need to give them a legitimate address to file an intercept. I’m trying to figure out what to do.

Do you think I could win the eBay case if they do the refund scam? (Note: the account had only good reviews and is clear but that specific address is link to a bunch of ebay scams)

Does anyone know what to do for intercepting packages in this situation?

Should I maybe try filling a police claim for internet fraud?

Urgently need help and will appreciate any responses with advice?

Potential ebay iphone scam as a seller???? Urgently need help!!

Hey everyone, I could really use some advice here.

I recently won a brand new, unopened iPhone 17 Pro Max at a local competition. Since I already have a good phone and could use the money, I decided to sell it on eBay (this was my first time ever selling there).

In my listing, I included a photo of the back of the box—which I’ve now realized was probably a huge mistake because it shows the IMEI and other identifying info. The phone sold almost instantly, and I shipped it out the next day without thinking much of it.

Now I’m starting to panic. I looked into the buyer’s address, and it turns out it’s a freight forwarding location in New Castle, Delaware that has been linked to scams. On top of that, I’ve read a lot about eBay often siding with buyers in disputes, which has me even more worried.

So now I’m not sure what to do:

  • Should I try to intercept the package before it gets delivered?
  • Or should I let it go through and see what happens?
  • Is there anything I can do to protect myself, especially since the IMEI was visible?
  • Any tips for protecting myself as a first-time eBay seller in this situation?
  • Should I send an intercept my package request?

Any advice or similar experiences would really help. Thanks in advance.
