This is my first time selling on ebay, and I got an offer on my item, they asked me to text them as they had a few questions about my item - so I did, and they want me to add a $300 gift card in with the order as they are a US Marine and they are unable to do it themselves. I am 99% certain this is a scam, but just wanted to ask for opinions I guess? Definitely a scam right?

The first indication that it is a scam is that they wanted you to text them. There is no reason that they couldn't message you through ebay. Often they ask a seller to text and then ask them for their Paypal address so that they can pay. They can send a fake PP email saying that payment has been made even though it hasn't been. It's best to keep messages through ebay.
