Selling directly to someone?

[anne_lk]

Help! I am new to this and I've listed an item, just last night.
Someone has messaged me from USA asking if the item is in good condition etc.
He's offering a good price + £30.00 for postage. He now wants my PayPal account details and for me to post....... Could this be some sort of scam??

It could be.   They use fake payment emails so always check for payment in your Paypal account.   New seller payments are often putn on hold but will still be noted in your account.

In any case I would tell them you prefer to let the auction run its course.
