How to Report a Buyer that asked for off-site deal

I have a buyer that has asked me to go off-site to make him a deal. May very well be a scam, I don't ship outside the U.S. and the buyer is from Canada. He asked me to go to my PayPal account and start some form of contact from there and of course he would pay me on the second Tuesday of next week. It's all right there on eBay's e-mail, should I just call CS directly and ask for help? I've added him to blocked list, never replied to the e-mail.

 

Thank You

I'd call just out of curiosity.......but ask for Trust and Safety.....regular CS may not know what to do......

 

if you do call, let us know what happens..........

The offer to deal outside of ebay is in a ebay email? 

Send the email to

spoof@ebay.com

reply to the scammer that you want to keep all sales on eBay. Then block him.

DO NOT remove the item from eBay.
