Is this common place now?

Hi everyone I was hoping you could shed some light for me.

I have added best offer to most of my listings, as a result everyday wihtout fail I am getting messages from buyers wanting to make an offer quote: " I will pay straight into your paypal account no ebay fees". I love getting offers dont get me wrong, just a bit gobsmacked and the amount of people prepared to cheat the system so openly  .lol If this was just the odd buyer I wouldnt bother the board with it but this is now 2-3 buyers per day!!

 

Is this a common thing now on ebay since ebay & paypal became 2 separate entities. Are any of you experiencing the same thing?

 

Thanks in advance
