BEWARE OF FRAUD with this member


FRAUD ALERT!
I recently sold a Mytek Liberty DAC to this user.

Buyer: locmao003
503-583-1266
locmao003@gmail.com

In the Audiogon Selling portal they listed their shipping address as a US Oregon address.
I shipped the item to this address. 
Paypal payment made to my account.
USPS Insured shipment, with delivery confirmation.
Delivery confirmed on June 11, 2021 by USPS.
I got an email, from a DIFFERENT email address stating they received the item.

Next, I got a dispute from Paypal saying the buyer never received the item.
The buyer listed their address as VIETNAM! Not Oregon.
I NEVER sell or ship overseas and would not have accepted this purchase if that was disclosed.
Paypal has approved the claim, and took my $500 payment back. I am left without the original DAC or payment.

BEWARE of this Buyer!

There are some unanswered questions in this thread. For it to be useful to the community it would help if the OP could clarify some of what took place with the initial transaction.
When you accepted payment into your PayPal account, was the buyer’s address the US based address and was it ‘PayPal Verified’. One can only assume that it must have been the US address since you said you’d seen no mention of an overseas address prior to shipping. In which case, you ought to be protected under PayPal’s Seller Protection program. If the buyer changed his/her address after the transaction with you, that really should have no bearing on your claim.
Can the OP please clarify, otherwise it’s just another ‘I got screwed’ thread and teaches us nothing other than not to get out of bed in the morning.
