SCAMMER

I was contacted by seller and she wanted to offer $50.00 more than my original asking price.  Should have been a red flag. She said to text her my PayPal account information and she would pay.  I told her multiple times that she will receive a notice from PayPal on how to  pay me.  Glad I read your comments below because it looks like it is a scam.  I am new and not use to the ways to scam a person and what to be aware of.  So sad!!!

Re: SCAMMER

Yep, definitely a scam.  Add the buyer to your blocked buyer list.

Re: SCAMMER

To add to @paulhua3... don't bother messaging this buyer, either. Good catch!

Re: SCAMMER

Sorry this happened to you but being a new Seller with HIGH TICKET ITEMS will definitely attract a lot of scammers.    You were smart to not fall for their tricks and not give information about your PayPal or other banking information. 

 

There are so many scams...only a few come to mind.   Customers do not have to prove claims and Ebay ALWAYS sides with customer (even if you have proof to the contrary).

 

-customer claims they paid (customer sends you fake PayPal email showing payment for your item).  Do not ship item until EBAY tells you money actually received.

 

-customer pays extra money (tell you to purchase "gift cards" and send them along with the package).  

 

-purchase item & open return request (customer returns empty box).  EBAY only checks postal tracking# and always gives customer full refund.  

 

- purchase item (claim item damaged)  EBAY will automatically refunds their money and tells customer to keep the item.

 

-purchase item (claim did not receive) EBAY will automatically refunds their money.   Even if customer receives item at later date (due to postal delay) EBAY will not give you money.
