Got an offer for $300 OVER on an item what I'm asking for "if I can ship today". If they pay and I ship, is there a way they can screw me over? Why are they offering $1500 on something I have listed for $1200?

Their msg is:
"Can you mail it out today? I am willing make an instant payment of $1,500 via pay pal.

Please reply."

What gave me a momentary pause was people have submitted (through the auction) a little more than I was asking on a Best Offer listing before. And never had issue.

Right. I meant more of their past handling of business.

For an auction-format listing, a "Best offer" that's higher than the minimum opening bid price can make sense. But for a fixed price listing, an offer above the "Buy it now" price makes no sense at all.
