[paulaann2027]

Buyer wants an item i have listed we agreed to price but not ship fees-I am newer to ebay but I recalled that we are not suppose to communicate other than via ebay so I emailed her via ebay and told her id be happy to answer question just not to her cell. Im feeling uneasy about this person any one have this occur to them?

"Buyers" who want to text or email you or pay directly through PayPal (which means they will send you a fake payment that "looks" like it's from PayPal) are criminals who prey on new sellers with zero experiencd.

Add the "buyer" (and any others who contact you in this way) to your blocked buyer list here and don't communicate further:
