     This person is attempting to scam you. There is nothing stopping them from paying you with PayPal if they have PayPal attached to their buyer account. NEVER EVER give out your email address or phone number or communicate outside of eBay channels. 

     Cancel this sale before you get burned and add the person to your blocked bidder list. You are a new seller and a target for every scammer out there. I see no listings or feedback on this account so I am assuming you are selling from another one. You would be well served reading through some of the guidance on this board regarding new sellers and how to protect yourself or at least reduce your risk of being scammed.

The buyer is attempting to scam you. Should you provide this information, the buyer will send you a fake PayPal email telling you that you have been paid. Cease all communications and cancel the transaction on day 5 for non payment.

Scam, they should pay going thru ebay and you don't have to give a buyer any information.

Your "buyer" is a scammer. Legitimate buyers can still pay using their PayPal account, but they don't need any info from you to do so.

 

I don't see any active or completed listings for you. Did the listing actually end with a sale?

bueyrs never really need help to pay

 

they just hit the pay now button like they alwasy have..it can be done half asleep

 

ebay makes it real easy to pay sellers

asking about texting and phone numbers or gift cards is a scam attempt

 

please come back if you have any other problems with a buyer or a return
