I am deleting my EBay account and will never use this service again. If you sell an item and it is exactly as described, a 'buyer' ie scam artist, can claim the item does not match the description, triggering Ebay's moneyback guarantee, keep your damaged item (my buyer destroyed my laptop to try and get a refund) and Ebay will side with the scammer, resulting in you losing your money, and your sold item - as no rational seller is going to accept a damaged return when the item sold was in perfect condition. You have been warned. Ebay is on the side of scammers, not honest sellers (I had 170 positive rating, 0 negative, the buyer had on rating he acquired days before the purchase). Ebay is a pile of garbage now, I would suggest you take your business elsewhere, I know I certainly am. Note to Ebay, I will make sure I spread this message far and wide on social media.

The buyer saw that you had not sold anything in at least a year and then listed a somewhat expensive computer. So of course you attracted a scammer. The fault with Ebay was they allowed you, and countless other new/infrequent sellers in the past, to list such an item. They have the data and capability to prevent or at least warn such sellers when they list a highly scammed item, but they don't. And that is to Ebay's everlasting shame.
