Buyer sent an Offer of the BUY NOW price. Then hours later bought the item in full. SCAM???

Question

To keep it simple im selling an item for 200 dollars.

This morning i was sent an offer to buy my item for 200 dollars. The buyer has ZERO feedback ratings. Naturally this was suspicious so i ignored it.

later in the afternoon the customer buys my item in full. All Paid off. Is this a possible scam??

I have heard of buyers making an offer of the full asking price in an attempt to have a conversation with the seller for whatever reason. Would you have been suspicious of the buyer just bought the item without making an offer? If the buyer has paid, you ship. You might want to pay for the extra shipping insurance since most shippers only cover the first $100

Since the buyer is new, he might have accidentally used the Make Offer option, not realizing you have several days in order to respond, so since he needs the item right away, he then used the Buy It Now option.
