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..

Even if you use Bitcoin through Tor, the way transactions are handled by the network makes anonymity difficult to achieve. Do not expect your transactions to be anonymous unless you really know what you're doing.

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
