Re: Something VERY WEIRD going on while selling this item on eBay
Unbelievable...
So this time it's not someone who goes through Buy It Now...
This buyer bid at the very end of the auction and won (perhaps the same guy all along) 0 feedback and account created less than 2 days ago.
He messages me the following after winning the auction: Hi Seller,
Am glad to have won your item, I will like to pay via PayPal cos
it's safe and secured. Kindly log into your paypal account and send me a
PayPal money request to my PayPal email address
{emailhere},also send me your phone number so i can text you
once the funds have been transferred. I will pay for the postage fee,
provide a US address and will do my best to send the payment ASAP once I
receive your PayPal payment request.
Looking forward to a swift
response.
Kind Regards,
buyer

Clearly this is fishy and he's trying to scam me. If you win an auction, you check out and pay with PayPal on your own, you dumbass. I don't need to send you anything! I will obviously not even bother dealing with him. Doubt I'll respond to the message.
I just want to cancel the transaction, get my fees back and hope he doesn't leave negative feedback. I'll wait 24-48 hours to see if perhaps eBay will yet again notice something fishy, flag the account and suspend it and/or cancel the transaction like they've kept doing.
