Buyer with strange feedback offering to pay by bank transfer instead of Paypal

[vacaloca]

Could there be something dodgy there? her feedback is '0', although she has a couple of comments from 2007, one of them negative. Why don't they count?

She won something yesterday and she wrote first thing today to say she was having problems with paypal and could she send a bank transfer instead. I've now sent her my bank details, but suddenly got a bit worried in case this is a know scam of some sort.

Oh blimey

Looks like she's never had a straightforward transaction in her life.

Your listing is very clear, God knows what she is playing at, yes do remember to leave a follow up comment after it's all sorted out!!

Ok...just further thoughts. Often people who are not used to ebay get paranoid and panicky very easily. It might be that she hasn't understood how to work the phone.
Paypal is likely to be a setup issue, it can be a nightmare and I don't imagine it'd be easy for someone apparently so disorganised.
It's unlikely she's been suspended as she's never sold anything and her last purchase was 2 years ago.

She might be trying it on or just bonkers. Either way I don't think you need be concerned!!

Well, I've responded now. So I'll wait and see. I'll have to check how to respond to her follow-up feedback. I couldn't see yesterday how to do it.

About her not knowing how to work the phone - she claims she's taken it to a vodafone shop.
