I opened a new account...I am getting hit by Scammers, on every listing (its the text message me, or phone me, so we can pay for it-scam)...it is way too funny !...but also very annoying, I have listed 14 items so far(95 dollars to 295 listing buy it nows), and every one of them have received a offer, either the same amount, or higher amount, then the sale price- all my listings have best offer- . Plus, I tried to post with this new account , to complain- here - and eBay deleted it...what???...I feel sorry for new sellers, that do not know any better- oh well.-I hope they do not respond to the Scams. its a way old scam-

new account scam

I am getting hit by Scammers

 

To some eBayers opening and having multiple new accounts hints at being a scam or something deceptive as an attempt to hide negative feedback, excessive returns and refunds or unpaid item cases.  Of course that is not always the case but is something scammers do.

Since you have Best Offer enabled, add the minimum and maximum you will accept.

That will cut down on the number of useless offers.

My partner opened an account, but I gave him 1.29 tokens to list on it. So far he hasn't gotten any scam emails, but a few low ballers who thinks he doesn't know what he's doing. (Little do they know, the eBay registered email address forwards all eBay messages to me to review, so I can advise on how to handle them).

 

No call/text type of offers, or anything like that. He's also doing all auctions. And all but a couple bidders are people I know personally from this ID selling my tokens here.
