I'm trying to sell a phone on ebay, and everytime the listing is about to end everyone gets outbid buy a brand new account with a 0 rating and wins, then they start asking me to email them my paypal information, obviously I'm not that dumb. Any tips to prevent this from happening over and over? By the time a real person actually wins it's not going to be worth anything anymore lol.

List as Fixed Price with Immediate Payment Required.

Phones are commodities.

Five minutes of searching here should tell you exactly what it is worth. 

List it at fixed price with immediate payment required.

Please be very careful selling in this category - you have low feedback and scammers will target you. As advised - use a Buy It Now with immediate payment option.

Make sure you check your Paypal acct for payment before shipping as scammers will send fake Paypal payment received emails.

Very simple fix. Go to your account and click site preferences, and edit your buyer requirements and up the number of feedback required to buy from you.

and edit your buyer requirements and up the number of feedback required to buy from you.

I don't think there is any such thing...LOL...

Buyers who may bid on several of my items and not pay for them
Block buyers who are currently winning or have bought # of my items in the last 10 days.
Only apply this block to buyers who have a feedback score of # or lower.

All completely useless for someone who’s trying to sell only one thing. You don’t seem to understand what those blocks do.

Those blocks only affect people attempting to buy multiple items from you. They won’t help the OP.

It's not much to understand. You set the number of items bid on or purchased from 1 to 100, and a FB score of 0 to 5.

Any number of items from 1 to 100.

[castlemagicmemories]

List it as fixed price, immediate payment required.  That way, no one buys it until they actually pay for it.

I think you've accidentally responded to the wrong poster. I didn't bring up the blocking idea.
