Someone has messaged me about an item and has asked to buy outside of ebay, and I believe they are intending to try and defraud me in the process. I want to report them to ebay but I can't see that there is a way of doing so until they have completed the purchase (which they won't end up doing if the process continued, as they're asking to do so by email!)
Is there a way of reporting this behaviour to stop them from attempting it with other people?
All you can do is report using Help & Contact.
You would do better to just add to your Blocked Bidders List and have nothing further to do with this person.
I am sure that if you went along with what he proposes it would be a scam to get something for nothing.
