Buyer with excellent track record sent scam message?

[yokkiber25]

New to ebay, tying to sell my phone, I strongly felt something was amiss, despite the fact that the buyer has a 100% and 254 feedback score. Sent the following message:

"I'm happy to pay $1300 including express post delivery to Miami, Florida. Kindly send me a PayPal money request to my email address below or send me a direct email to *****@gmail.com with your PayPal email address for instant online payment:

Many thank

I declined the offer. I don't understand the specifics scams as I'm new, but my intuition is screaming at me.

Yes thanks for that I have since changed it
