    Is this a scam?
                     

    I bought an item yesterday, $690. The post stated "for pick up in Chicago"

    I live in Chicago, so great!

    Today the seller tells me "how about pick up in louisiana?"

    I say "how about a pick up in Chicago like your post stated?"

    They say "I can offer you a free shipping if you want but in one condition can you do for me a feedback, im a new seller here on ebay and I want to boost my profile thanks"

    They're a new seller with zero reviews.

    Is this a scam?

    It sounds more like someone who does not know what he is doing.  I would be gracious and ask him to cancel the transaction as buyer requested.
