Suspicious offers?

Yesterday, minutes after listing a leather jacket I got an offer.  When I saw I'd made a mistake about shipping (it would be regular, not expedited), I messaged the person and asked if they still wanted the item.  I noticed that the person just signed up yesterday and is new to ebay.  I got no response yesterday, so I emailed again this morning and added that I'd let the offer expire if I still had no response.  Well, I never got an email - what I got today was a repeat offer from the same person, AS WELL AS an offer of the same amount from ANOTHER new ebayer who just signed up TODAY.  How odd is it to get an offer from TWO brand new ebayers? I've never even seen a new (same day) account before! I am suspicious! I realize, everyone was new once - but the same amount offered from TWO brand new ebayers in a row...? Does this seem odd to anyone else?!  Thanks...!

Suspicious offers?

Not odd unless they were offers not through the ebay listing, or one that asked for communication or details outside ebay.   Just make sure they pay through ebay and you ship to the address ebay approves.

Thanks.  Soon after I wrote that, I saw that the first person is "no longer a registered user".   Hmm, that was quick.
