I’ve sold a fairly expensive watch and I am waiting for a buyer to send the funds however I’m worried that they are trying to commit fraud as their account was made today and they have no reviews. What should I do? I’ve tried reporting the account but I’m still waiting on eBay getting back to me, any advice would be greatly appreciated

That development does move them along the scammer sliding scale to the dodgy end. If you complied you would give them the ability to send you bogus ebay emails telling you that they had paid and that you should post the item. They would not have paid. Sometimes scammers use WhatsApp for this. As they won't pay, you can cancel after 4 days for non payment. There is no point reporting as, assuming it's a scam, it will be a throwaway account.
