Should I be worried?

I "sold" my laptop on eBay, however the person that bought it at full asking without making an offer sent message asking to kindly give paypal address and correspond via email.

This seems dodgy to me and he has 4 positive feedback stetchest over since 2002, last used in 2016.

I was actually going to post about using the bay and if it's reslly worth it due to them always siding with the buyer even if seller isn't at fault

Am I right to think this is a dodgy buyer?

Can I just not reply or is eBay going to take 10%off me

Can't see a sub forum no

If I deal with it through eBay, am I covered if he's dodgy and trys to claim it doesn't work or something? Feel I shouldn't have listed it now feel like eBay is full of scams

That'll 100% cover it? Just really don't want to loose 900 quid !

He just went this reply to my "sorry I'd rsthra deal with it through eBay"

New message from: sperryb (4)
I will, i just need your PayPal email address just to confirm your PayPal account and your full name, also i can get back to you on it.

Why would he need to confirm it? Why does he need my full name ? Why does he need my email?

it says he's based in the United States......i assume you have no intention of shipping to the US?

He said shipping to UK.

Is it dodgy he wants my email?

Personally I would give him my PayPal address and when the money has been sent just say you cannot see any funds, then say you contacted eBay and they cannot see anything to suggest he paid.

That's just me though, I like to troll the scamming scum.

Wait I'd get free money then Is that illegal?

What free money? Can't see anything going through eBay :O

But they'd just check my PayPal and notice it ?

He would reverse payment or it’s from a hacked or stolen account.

You can't reverse Paypal payments?
