Asked to move my item to Vinted!
Summary: claireagf shared a concern about a potential buyer asking to move an item listed on eBay to another platform, Vinted, citing high postage costs on eBay. tommystrezures suggested that this request might be part of a fraudulent attempt and recommended blocking the buyer as a precaution.
Good Morning All,
I listed an item yesterday for £120 and a short time later I had a message from someone saying they would buy the item if I moved it to Vinted.
I replied and said I'm okay on Ebay thank you & then the person replied late last night & said, ok I understand, postage is too expensive on Ebay.
Odd thing to say considering the item is very competitvely priced against its normal retail value.
I just thought I'd put this on the Community to see if others have experienced the same & whether I should let Ebay know. The person appears to have been registered since 2007 and last purchased around 6 - 12 months ago.
Kind Regards x

Mentor1 month agoNothing you can do really, they could have been trying to get you to relist else where as part of a fraudulent purchase, we don't know and neither do you.
Best to block them as they sound like a time waster.

OP1 month agoThanks Tommy, yes, I thought it might be a scam. I don't use Vinted but have heard of several scams on their platform. I will block as you suggest.
