I'm a new seller here. I have received 2 offers but they want to have me send my info ,address.
I don't know if this is normal or not. I'm trying to get some help on how payments are to be done.

I looked at your items. That can be a clue for getting such offers.
I saw that you listed a reserve price. That is rather expensive and not helpful for interested buyers.
Removing is useless, you still have to pay for them.
But for the future...
Good luck.

Mentor2 years ago@elpat_3659 You would be surprised how many people get taken because they don't ask questions. Always come here with questions!

Mentor2 years agoThe normal procedure is the buyer would hit buy it now, pay through eBay (PayPal/credit card), and you would receive notification from eBay that your item is ready to ship. After the hold period, you would receive your funds, deposited into the checking account you set up with Managed Payments. If it is a best offer, you would receive an eBay message from eBay (not the buyer) that you had received an offer.
NEVER communicate outside of eBay, including emails. NEVER accept payment outside of eBay. Both of these offers were from scammers.

Mentor2 years agoThose would be scammers.
Anytime someone asks for information, offers the same as your asking price, asks if you can add something, decline the offer.
