Try before buy

Can a customer ask to try an item before buying?  I’ve had a request to try my item before they will pay -if they like have said they will pay on the spot through EBAY?  Does this sound like a scam?

Although I can understand why a potential buyer might want to see and try the item before they buy it, they are not allowed to do this as it is against Ebay rules.

The buyer has to agree to the sale and pay through Ebay before you can exchange contact details.

If they come to pick it up and change their mind about the purchase, you could then refund them.
