Suspicious buyer

[lally_k]

I listed some trainers last night and I have just had offers on 2 pairs from the same buyer. They are a brand new buyer and they have said they can not message threw Ebay so can we talk threw there email address because there said ebay were doing updates also they have said they need them sending to a different address???

Oh my,   there couldn't be any more red flags pointing to a scam.

Do not reply to this buyer just block them,  and at the bottom of the link below you can block their messages too.

Never reply through private emails, you do not deal with sales through eBay messages,  the buyer just needs to, if they were genuine which they are not, to be able to buy from your eBay listing.

Never post to a different address when requested , only to the name and address eBay provide for you on the order details for the item, and this is sent to you when the buyer has paid.

So just ignore, do not answer and block them now.

Don't do it

All messages and payment must be through eBay.

If you're going to  reply to them tell them all messages and offers must be made through eBay and they can enter correct address at checkout or ignore and add to block list
