Hello everyone,


I recently attempted to purchase a drone from this listing:


DJI Mavic 3 Pro Fly More Drone (SOLD)


The seller appeared to be an active member with numerous messages, so I proceeded with the transaction. I sent the payment via PayPal Goods and Services on March 10, 2025, which included overnight shipping. After receiving the payment, the seller assured me that they would ship the drone immediately, ensuring that I would receive it by the morning of March 11, 2025.


However, since then, I have received no response. The seller was actively checking the forum and reading private messages until this afternoon. They saw my messages requesting an update but never replied. Later today, I sent another message, and shortly after, their last seen status disappeared—I suspect they may have blocked me.

He still got some active listings selling Mavic 3T.


If permitted, I can share all direct message exchanges as proof.


Has anyone here done business with this user before? Any insights would be greatly appreciated.


Here is the seller’s profile:

Thank you for your help.

Sorry to hear. My understanding is the seller must provide a tracking number which can be traced online so if you don't have one and you open a PayPal dispute, should be an easy refund. Not sure when you are allowed to initiate the dispute process or if it covers shipping which is why I don't like to deal with the overnight process for individual sellers (makes things complicated). No matter where you are located, delivery by any express service for early AM next time is very costly and to me personally, that's a red flag but ymmv I guess.

I don't have any experience with dealing with the seller but I hope things work out for you!
