This is happening because you are a new seller with zero experience and are selling expensive items. Unfortunately, scammers prey on new sellers because they are easier to trick into doing an off eBay transaction where the seller loses his item.
It's not ideal, but until you've earned a feedback reputation, you would be better off listing as fixed price with the immediate payment required option turned on. That way, the item can't be sold until paid for.
To earn some feedback, buy some things on eBay. That will establish you at least as a buyer and give you valuable experience at least from a buying perspective. The more feedback you have, the fewer scammers you'll encounter.
