So I bought an item on ebay..

Paid with pay it now button..

The seller says to cancel the payment on paypal and to pay to a different paypal address, not thru ebay, just send a payment..

So I canceled the payment.

Then I sent a few messages asking why can't you send me an invoice thru ebay.

She says that she doesn't have a paypal account and is going to use her brothers and to send the payment to her brothers..

Is this a scam??

Something doesn't smell right..

Edit:

The selling account has zero feedback..

Never trust a "she" on eBay with 0 feedbacks. The chances are, you're dealing with someone who looks like this:



Speaking of, anybody seen fat ass lately? I miss him (or is he a she?)!

99% a scam, she could have easily sold the items using her brothers ebay account, but let me guess, her brother does not have an ebay account
