Suspicious buyer

[cervantes-hutchings]

I have a buyer? Asked for my best price then without making an offer gave his PayPal email and asked for mine so he could "conclude the payment ASAP". Explaining I Take payment through ebay I will be overcharged with extra fees for selling with PayPal through ebay. I responded this is a cash on collection deal. Reply can't collect in person sending a courier. So I pointed out my obligation to ebay and gave two options for him to buy. Have courier pay with your cash or buy in conventional way through ebay. He just cut and pasted his former message. Is this buyer just unintelligent or trying to scam me?

Probably a scam.

Have they actually purchased this item?

If they have and send a courier then if there is no cash on collection,  you do not hand over the item.

If they have not purchased the item,  I would block them asap.
