Shipping in FedEx

[KennyX]

Not sure if this is the right place, but...

I just sold something and the buyer suggested that I use their shipping account @ FedEx to send the item.
He gave me his name, address, phone number, account name, and account number.

Is is possible to just go a FedEx center using that information to ship the item? Just wondering, because it seems kind of easy for anyone with a person's account number/name to ship for free?

edit: just noticed the title... should obviously be Shipping with FedEx

Scammers use stolen shipping accounts all the time. Are you positive you're not being scammed?

I dont think so... I've already received the funds via EMT, so I think Im covered?

Yeah, you're alright then.

The buyer's plain stupid or piggybacking a company's account.

Either way, he shouldn't gave out his personal information and the account number to just anybody.

If I want the sender to use my courier under my account.

I usually email the sender a pre-printed waybill without the account number shown.
