    I have a scammer who has tried to purchase outside the eBay format. How do I report this person.

    A new member has purchased an item from me. Has asked me to send details via private email.  100% sure it’s a scammer but I’ve tried to report but nothing has happened.

    Would like to save someone from the grief of dealing with this.

    You can report the buyer but it's unlikely eBay will do anything

    If you're 100% sure it's a scammer, have no further contact, cancel the transaction using 'problem with buyer's address ' and put the user ID on your blocked bidder list.
