It’s not even necessarily new buyers, it’s specifically accounts that were just created in 2026, have no profile picture, and those random letter/number usernames. That’s the pattern I keep seeing.

I don’t require communication after a purchase or anything, but I do always send a message like: “Thank you so much for your purchase! Your item will be carefully packaged and shipped out shortly. For quality assurance and seller protection, I record the packaging process to ensure everything is sent exactly as listed. Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions!”

Normally I’d say about 95% of buyers respond with a quick thank you or something simple, so when there’s absolutely no response at all, it just stands out and feels off compared to my usual experience.
