Scammed?

I am pretty new to ebay and had an item sold.  The buyer has contacted me via personal email and asked for my paypal info.  I informed them all transactions are handled through ebay.  They are listed as a new user, having formed their account the day they won the bid.  Also asked for info from two different email sites and addresses.   Am I being scammed?

Scammed?

Yes, that is the start of a scam attempt.  Just stop responding and they will go away.

 

The buyer gets 4 days to pay.  On day 5, select cancel transaction, then select buyer has not paid.  This puts an unpaid cancellation on the buyer's account.  You can block buyers with 2 or more unpaid cancellations.
