Buyer wants me to text them

[misschec-30]

2 buyers want me to text them on their phone. Another buyer that has no feed back bought 2 things costing $150 and hasn’t paid yet. It’s only been a couple hours. For some reason I feel all three are up to no good

The request to take communication off of eBay can be an indication that you are dealing with a scammer.  

For your protection, do not comply.

If, after 4 full days, the buyer hasn't paid you can cancel the sale transaction.

Select non-payment as the reason for the cancel.

Doing so will put a non-payment strke on their account.

You are a brand new seller.

You can expect to be a scmmer magnet.

Any buyer asking you to text or call them, or to include gift cards is a scammer.
