Hi,
I'm a pretty new seller. This is my second sale.
I'm currently selling a shirt on eBay for £16. I accepted offers.
The day after listing the shirt someone does an offer for £16 which I found slightly strange because he could have just clicked 'buy now'.
Anyway, I accepted the offer. It's legally binding so I have to send the shirt if he sends the money within a 5 day period.
I then got a message saying:
'I have a very busy schedule and won't be able to check my eBay messages, Kindly message me back with your WhatsApp number for quick and easy communication. Thanks.' This would take the conversation off site. However, he has enough time to browse eBay.
Does anyone know if this is a technique used by scammers? What should I do?
Buyer (long time, lots of positive feedback) paid for item. Sent messaged me with shipping address which matched their ebay address but added a Whatsapp line, something like Whatsapp 1, 2, 3, 4, etc...
What is the purpose of that. Are they reselling and that is identifying their buyer. They haven't asked for anything outside the norm besides this. Any ideas?
Edit: Sorry Ebay Buyer
isn't that against the rules , how are they bypassing this just out of curiosity ,
