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 ?
Give him your price and tell him to hit buy it now?
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

This has been going on since eBay started. Not a scam per se, mostly people trying to get a better price or to keep the bid for something being run way up in a bidding war. Trying to bypass the proper process.
