I am selling a camera with a few accessories and I have listed as $45 Buy it Now or Best Offer. I received two offers last night and got excited when I saw the notification this morning. However, both offers were significantly higher than the asking price. I got one offer at $70 and one offer at $80. Is this a scam? I haven't accepted either because I am just completely confused and think it might be a scam. Why would someone offer $25 and $35 more than the asking price for an old model camera?
Known scam. They use your likely lack of experience as a new seller to get your blood pumping with that extra money to get your emotions to take over and go with it as they extract your money/item with a follow up email scam.
Think about it ! I can click buy it now for $45.00 why would I offer $70.00 ? To scam you that's it plain & simply. Add them to your Blocked Bidder list and ignore them
Scammers would then ask for Paypal email and scam you
Please accept my offer for $80 so that I buy your camera immediately! Please act fast so that no one else buys it at your asking price of $45. I really want it, and you can send it to my niece in France who is in international schooling.
After you accept my offer, then send me your paypal email to arrange payment.
Thank you so much! The one person who actually bid higher actually commented on this asking me to send it to France. Not falling for it. Too sketchy. Thank you for your help!
