Hello,Sold an apple watch to someone who I am keeping in correspondence by email (allegedly they don't have access to their ebay account). More and more i've been suspecting they're a scammer. they've asked me to include an apple gift card in their order of $300, which came with this 'ebay verification' email saying 'confirmation from ebay management: ebay item and gift card approved'.The buyer's page was already suspicious - their profile page said smth like 'due to past experiences I require sellers to send a video of the product to this email'. Also, the name of their email doesn't match with the name on their ebay page.They 'sent' me $800 for the watch and for the inconvenience, but something about that email and this whole ordeal doesn't feel right. They've also been incessantly pushy and impatient (asking for updates every few hours). In any case, I bought the $300 apple gift card online from the Apple store, but I cancelled this morning while it was still processing just to be sure. Has anyone encountered this kind of issue before or am I being overly paranoid.
