yes that is a scam , do not reply and delete !!

I agree, have nothing to do with it.

If it looks like a Rat and smells like a Rat, then most likely it's a Rat. Report the item, contact ebay by phone if you like, but don't go there 🙂 

Make sure  you have your BUYER REQUIREMENTS page filled in carefully

 

 


Account > Site Preferences > Buyer Requirements

 

Block buyers whose primary postage address is in a location I don't post to.

Also block his ID by adding the ID to your blocked buyer/bidder list

 

The link to add to this buyer to your Blocked Buyers List (BBL) is here  http://offer.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?BidderBlockLogin
