Possible scam? Suspicious buyer.

This is my first exeperience as a seller. Selling a £200+ phone.  Account made in 2005 with over 50 reciews as a buyer. Here's what happened.

Buyer told me it's a gift for their grandson. Apparantly in West Africa. Perfect English, which made me second guess it. Apparantly the eBay buying system doesn't work for her. The buyer is requesting my PayPal email. They gave me their personal email (which apparantly breaches eBay policies). They also offer £200 over the price, which is plain ridiculous.

Researched it, and it seems to be a scam. Which shocked me. But how do I stop this person bidding at the end, and spoiling my entire bid?

What shall I do?! I want this person banned, I mean, what a scumbag thing to try and do.

Thanks.
