Some categories are more attractive to scams than others.
Electronics are notorious, jewelry scams are usually the seller not the buyer, surprisingly dolls and horsetack are bad, designer purses and designer sneakers attract a lot of scammers and entitled buyers.
Best is to avoid listing high value/ high fraud items until you have at least 10 DSRs, know what DSRs are, and understand their utter unimportance.
I wonder what made you think the buyer ID would match the 'real' name? I'm sure your name isn't Mrs. Wood. And mine is nothing like femmefan.
If you have a scammer who is trying to get you to change the shipping address, there is probably a real buyer back there who is going to be disappointed. And can leave appropriate feedback.
Are the addresses those of Freight Forwarders? These are businesses who accept purchases made in the USA and ship them overseas for their customers. They also arrange for duty and sales taxes to be paid before reshipping.
Freight forwarders are the second safest* addresses you can mail to.
Not only does your responsibility for shipping end at the freight forwarder's doorstep, but most of the Money Back Guarantee does not apply when a delivered shipment is forwarded.
Requests for texts or phone calls are scams. Any questions can be made through eBay Messages.
Requests for your Paypal information are scams. That information is on the invoice eBay sent the buyer.
Do NOT ship until you see the customer's cleared payment in your PP account. (As a new seller there will be a Hold, but your tracking number releases the Hold, and you can buy a shipping label with the Held funds).
*The safest are mail boxes, particularly post office boxes, where the recipient needs a key for the box and has to claim larger parcels from the clerk at the counter.
