Just got 2 offers from same buyer, she wants me text her my email account linked to my PayPal account and send it to her private email account, so she can process payments. She requested invoices for the total amount 

I Thought it supposes going through ebay for transactions,  I felt wired and wanted to ask community here if any one could help me if this is normal?

You are being SCAMMED! All communication and payment should go through Ebay. Do NOT give this person ANY information.

 

They do not intend to pay you. After 4 days of non-payment, cancel the transaction due to "buyer didn't pay".

 

Sorry this happened to you. Since you are a new seller, you will attract scammers.

Re: Asking send her my email link to paypal account

It is a 100% GUARANTEED Fraud. There is NO reason for them to do this. Not a legit reason anyway. I can guarantee you that they are trying to steal your money or your product or maybe both.

NEVER take ANY part of an Ebay transaction Off Ebay. Not only is it a serious breach of the Ebay rules and can lead to you losing the privilege of selling on the site, but the ONLY reason a buyer would want to do this is to STEAL from you. There is NO upside to this for you at all.

Your response to them should just be a simple one.

All communication and payments will be handled on the Ebay site only. There is no legitimate reason to do otherwise.

You are very welcome and I was so happy you came here and asked before doing anything.  You did the right thing.

 

You can send them a note in Ebay email.  And just tell them all correspondence and payments will go through Ebay.

Scammers don't  pay. Paying would make them too easy to find.
