I've never heard of this scam???
Just wanted to warn other sellers about a scam where a buyer makes an offer on an item you are selling, then asks you to contact them outside ebay because they have questions regarding the item or transaction.
That's the first warning making an offer outside of eBay as that means you have no protection if things go wrong.
In my case, they requested I buy a Google Play Card to send along with the item they have made an offer on, supposedly a gift for someone.
Google Play and iTunes cards are non traceable so it's a bonus for any scammer.
Offered to pay me extra for helping them out, but when it comes down to it, they ask you to send a copy of the scratched Google Play Card after you have purchased it.
Offering to pay more is the biggest warning that it's a scam as why would you pay more for an item instead of
just paying the listed price.
