I have 5 different offers from accounts made on January 31,2018, & two on February 1,2018.
Is this a scam & how could it be a scam?
I just declined the first three, but I wanted to know before declining the last two.
Also notice how most of the names are with randoms periods(.) in them.
I attached a screen shot removing the address for ToS.

I'd decine that offer also.
Fairly new seller + low feedback + electronic item = scam magnet.
You can mitgate some scams by offering this type item by using a fixed price format with an Instant Payment Required.
Don't list anything you can't afford to lose.

YES, IT'S A SCAM.
They're asking for a Paypal invoice to send you a very real looking fake Paypal payment notice, in hopes that you're too naive to actually check your Paypal account to see if you've been paid.

Scam. NO legit buyer ever needs your PP email to pay you.
