Suspicious behavior (Buyer pickup in the area) | Questions and answers among users

Hello, I'm writing on the forum for the first time, so I apologize in advance if I've made any mistakes (off topic, etc.)For the second time, I've come across the following situation, which seems quite strange to me:-I list an item for sale with only the option of local pickup-The buyer purchases and pays for it, but as shown in the screenshot, they don't reply and don't say when or if they intend to pick up the item.- The buyer and the recipient are two different people, moreover with strange names that seem fake.-The buyer has recently registered on eBay and has 0 feedback.Can someone explain whether this practice is an attempt at fraud or something else? What would the purpose be?This had already happened to me before with a guitar, same exact situation: I proceeded with the refund and, once it was done, I blocked the user. Did I do everything correctly? Should I act the same way. thanks in advance
