Legit or possible scam?

Alright so I got offers that I'm considering taking on a product I'm selling. They both offered the same amount I'm asking for. Only thing is their shipping location is different from their account location. This a red flag or normal on ebay? second time selling on here

This is gonna end well. Only list items that you can afford to lose. This means if you are counting on selling this item to put food on the table or to pay rent, sell in somewhere else. The scam that will probably get you is the one you're not expecting. You've been warned.

If it is the one item you have listed, and this is only the second thing you have sold then yes you are setting yourself up for a scam.

You're new.....selling expensive computer components....you're a scam magnet.

 

If the buyer location is out of country....run. They'll ship to a US address that's a freight forwarder and then claim the item is not as described or damaged.

 

If anyone wants to communicate outside of eBay, askes for your phone number, email address, offers more than the asking price or wants you to include gift cards...run. Those are all hallmarks of known scams.
