Sketchy Buyers

[makbl_4105]

Okay so I am VERY new to ebay. I have a bath and body works lotion that someone wants to purchase. However they reached out and want me to add a $200 ebay gift card in the box with the lotion. They said they would credit my paypal $200+$30 shipping AND $50 for the “stress”. They also sent me this email address PayPalservice.usa.com@gmail.com

and said that they wanted me to email that email what the plan was so it was documented...are things like this normal? is this sketchy? should i go through with this? 

ALSO they asked for my paypal address... Please help, I need a lot obviously.

It is a total SCAM!!!!! Do NOT communicate with them at all. Put their ID on your Blocked bidder List. They don't really want the lotion, they want the gift card, for which they will send a fake payment. RUN, RUN, RUN AWAY!

agree with Myb........scammers often target new sellers with this kind of offer........  it is a scam.......

Old scam.  They want you to e-mail so they will have your address to send a Fake PayPal e-mail saying that you have been paid and that the money will be yours when you have uploaded tracking.  Ignore, block and report.

The newer the seller, the bigger the 'Scam Here' target on their back.
