Hi,

I just ordered from a new user (feedback-2) and got this message in shipping
in invoice: "Request for invoice (backup method)". He says that when
I do check out in Paypal I will get shipping added at the end but I almost did
this and there is still no shipping added.... Is it some kind of scam? Will I
get money back from pp later if something happens?


Thx

You´ve probably bought an item that exceeds the available shipping methods from
the store.
The seller has to manually add the postage and send the invoice. Then you can
pay.

Ok but he already sent invoice without shipping.... If I pay by paypal that price
without shipping can he later send me another invoice with shipping?

Yes, but why would you pay knowing it's an error.
Inform the seller the invoice is incorrect without shipping and wait for the
correct invoice.

One could argue "it's the sellers fault and should honour the deal",
but because you know upfront the invoice is incorrect the sale can be cancelled
because of the error anyway.

Since there is no test for sellers on here, I would expect someone with only
2 feedback not to know the ropes. Instead of jumping to scam, maybe jump to 'let
me explain to this new person how the system works.'

But, you never know!
