Sorry this isn't exactly Ebay but it's the same sort of thing (selling stuff online).
I've had a bundle of kids clothes up on FB marketplace for about a week, asking 15euro for over 30 items so I thought a good price and would get interest.
Today I got the standard message, 'is this available'? so I replied yes and pretty quickly they replied with a spiel offering me a loan at 2% interest, there were quite alot of words but this was the main point. I'm in Germany, can understand the gist but use Google translate.
I replied with, 'I'm not interested in a loan, let me know when you can collect the clothes'. To which they roughly said,,,
'You are not the first and will not be the last to appreciate this. You are absolutely right to say that. Today there are scammers, but we are reliable people. People you can trust with a loan. Tell me, what do we gain by cheating? Trust us and you will receive a loan within 72 hours'.
Well it obviously is a scam, have any of you come across this? bit annoyed as I was looking forward to getting shot of stuff.
