Just got a message regarding a car I am selling on ebay to text this same number so we could start doing business, I responded to the inbox message and did not text him, then I came here, his username is now usarmy00207_4
Sounds like the " I can only do PayPal through eBay" SCAM where you get a FAKE invoice from the scammer. If he has his own shipper (and you are to pay him) RUN!! That is how the scam works.
Contacted me on Ebay in response to a vehicle I listed for sale and immediately asked me to text the cell number. Ebay profile says only a member since May 2017 and says he's located in Phoenix, AZ, despite having a NY number. Assuming a foreigner based on the way he writes and the fact that he included a "1+" in front of the phone number. Was already skeptical but the other posts on here confirmed my suspicion.
I got the text for my ebay car listing as well. Asked me to text back. He asked what my best price to let go was. I said look at listing. They couldnt even quote me back my sales price. Luckily I saw this post as well.
