I received a message from a member about an item for sale & to contact them outside Ebay.
However the item is furniture & they are in the UK!
Should I report this & where?
Thanks
Use the report member feature - attempting to negotiate the sale of a listing outside the ebay ecosystem is strictly prohibited in the terms of use.
Hopefully the offender will eventually be NARU'd.

If the contact method invites you to click on a link you should definitely not do so.
It's probably a phishing expedition trying to induce you to visit a site containing some sort of nasty exploit designed to infect your device with malware.
As to where they got your mobile number who knows?
If you were selling at the time of the big hack in 2014 your details may still be circulating on the dark web.
It may have even been circulated by and old customer as phone info is available via the transaction record.
The moral is "never accept lollies from strangers" lol
