I listed some reels for auction on eBay. I'm getting messages like " how much are you looking to get for ******* reel?"  Seems like they want to get around eBay for some Venmo or related scam 
Anyone else have that happen?
Seems scammy to me

 Must be a scam . Do you also have it listed with best offer ?
Grandpa`s words of wisdom......Joey that thing between your shoulders is not a hat rack.....    use it.....
A mind is like a parachute, it only work`s  when it is open.......
Character is doing the right thing when nobody is looking .   There are too many people who think that the only thing that!s right is to get by,and the only thing that's wrong is to get caught .

Give him your price and tell him  to hit buy it now?
I woke today and suddenly nothing happened.

I pm'd a guy on eBay and made an offer... there wan't a buy it now. He took it and I payed him. eBay sent me a nasty note saying don't do that... they want the fee!

Happened to me a couple times recently, with different buyers, and I was listing with Buy it Now and no offers. Both times I ended up lowering the Buy it Now price a little to make the sales through eBay.

I put the starting auction price on what I hope to get at a minimum and it's been working ok. If it doesn't sell I lower it
I've had it happen with 3 different buyers but the verbiage is always the same, seems scammy

Buyers that try to end an actual legitimate "Auction" early and Sellers that allow it to happen really p-$$ me off!  >:(  eBay should ban them for those types of actions!  >:D 
Love those open face spinning reels! (Especially ABU & ABU/Zebco Cardinals)
