Scammer using Hacked Account

I have received this message  more than once from different Ebay Member Id's on different items.  

 

This is the 3rd time I have received this type of scam in the last month.  He/she will ask that I ship to a freight forwarder in Florida and says that as soon as I know what the overnight shipping cost is, to add that to the really over inflated price he is willing to pay, and to send the payment request through a fake pay pal site.

 

I am pretty new to selling on Ebay.  Is this a common occurence?  Just something we have to put up with?

The scammers target new sellers, selling high dollar merchandise.
Glad you didn’t fall for it.

Everyone has options. Just be sure the best option is right for you.
