Not long after my eBay listing was visible I have received an offer from someone based in the United States looking for a present for their "cousin" who lives in Melbourne and wants it shipped locally (I also live in Melbourne). After going back and forth with emails she asks it to be posted today and for me to give my PayPal addresses. She then sends me this PayPal request invoice email;
"Hi am xxxx xxxx and am interested buying your item can you ship today ,Because i want the item ship to my cousin as a birthday gift gift .Can you please email me at xxxxxxxx@gmail.com or Text me on WhatApp .And also can i have your paypal account to send the payment ASAP. Here is the shipping Address for xxxx xxxx 4 Holdsworth Lane Williamstown VIC 3016 Aus"
This immediately flagged it to me but also that she wanted to go via the more expensive shipping option of the two I offered.
Strangely, it says 100% positive feedback on her profile (1,125 feedback) and the account has existed since Jan 2006.
Any opinions before I report?
