I never thought i would do one of these as i'm usually good at picking up scams but:
selling something on ebay, guy made an offer so i accepted.
didn't hear anything for a couple of days, sent him a message and got one back saying sorry, didn't realise he got it. Also put a phone no. in the message.
So i rang him and he says he is over the paypal ebay limit and can't buy using it (is that a thing?)- so he suggested i text him my paypal address - he will then pay me and i can send it to him.
Now, i'm a suspicious person - can he claim the money back even if i send by courier and have evidence when it arrives?
- its still paypal but not linked to the auction. So what protection does it give me?
It kind of sounds ok, but it also sounds like a scam somehow.
He has been a member of ebay since 2013 but only has 10 feedback (all positive)
