I've received a message regarding an item I am selling for £2,500 - they have offered to pay the asking price plus a postage fee (although I stated shipping was free).
The buyer wants me to send a payment request through PayPal to enable them to pay but I have explained this can be done by clicking "buy".
The buyer has 100% positive feedback (over 400 reviews) as a buyer and seller. They have had their account since 2003.
Why would the buyer want me to do this? Could I be being played here?
Please help!!

it's a SCAM
you will receive a fake paypal payment advice,
you'll then send the item and lose it and your money!
put the ID on your blocked bidder list and ignore them
