Is this a scam?

[kareloz_4]

Why do buyers bid or make offers on products you’re selling then they don’t pay and ask you to text them because they have questions??? EbY is so hard to reach  live person for help

No need to contact ebay,  these are buyers attempting to scam you. Cancel the transaction after 4 days for non payment. Remember, anyone asking you to call or text them is a scammer.

@kareloz_4 There is no reason for you to have to call eBay. Life is full of scam artists. This is an online platform and all transactions are to take place on this platform. The moment a buyer asks you to text them that is a scammer. Never respond back, just cancel the transaction after 4 days and move on. There are plenty of good buyers out there but you need to take care of your account first. Best of luck to you....

this sure is a scam.........actually I am not sure you have you wait till the 5th day to cancel

scammers can be canceled in 1 day as a problem with address. I think most of the scammers have low feedback and are not going to protest that they were not given the chance to get the item

if a buyer has paid you shoud ship

if the buyer is trying the text/phone thing I would just end it there......  scammers do not have to stick to a timetable  so why shoud a seller have to

 I think scam attempt shoud be listed as a reason to cancel ............ its so prevalent for some sellers.

I am sort of against  using the cancel button .way too many users go to it but for scams I would use it in 5 minutes
