question regarding a potential buyer for a luxury product
Summary: authenticgeartime shares their concern about a suspicious offer from a newly registered buyer on eBay, who is offering the exact asking price for a luxury item without asking any questions. koalagris and lingma85 recommend rejecting the offer, blocking the buyer, and being wary of potential scams. authenticgeartime decides to follow this advice and expresses disappointment with the protection on the eBay platform.
hello
this morning, a buyer 0 who had just created their account today itself (09/11/25) decided to make me an offer at the same price as my fixed price! for a luxury item I’m selling.
Having seen the number of problems and scams on ebay where the seller ends up in big trouble even though they did nothing wrong, I am not at all inclined to sell him the product!
he sends me a message to ask if I’m doing well and if my family is doing well and to accept his offer so he can make the transfer without asking me any other questions about my item... I find that really strange!
What do you think?
Has this ever happened to you?
How should I react?
thanks in advance to everyone for your replies.

La démarche personnelle de ce potentiel acheteur est l'image même d'un filou qui veut vous appater...
C'est une tentative d'arnaque.
