Hi there, I'm a member of ebay UK only. Someone has made me an offer, but she is based in Ireland and has only joined ebay since September 2o. There is no feeed back on her page, and no items to sell. Is this a scam?
Thank you

We all started with zero feedback, you included.
People don't have to be sellers to use Ebay. Most folk come here purely to buy.
Unless you have your Buyer Requirements set to block international bidders and buyers, anyone will be able to bid, buy, and make offers.
So unlikely to be a scam. More likely to be you not fully understanding how Ebay works. But if you're not comfortable to sell internationally, decline the offer, and add the offerer's Ebay ID to your Blocked Bidders List. Then set your Buyer Requirements to block international bidders (Account... Site Preferences... Buyer Requirements).
(Loving that vintage leather coat, btw. :))
