Is someone trying to scam me on Ebay??

[joafew-35]

I put up an auction for a Xbox Series X $724 and someone made a 1k offer the next day. Checked his profile and he made the account the SAME DAY he bid the price 0 feedback. Im completely new to Ebay, first time selling. Is he trying to scam me and if so, how? Bid closes in 12 hours.

If a seller lists a fixed price listing rsrher than listing an auction, an offer higher than the buy it now price is most certainly an attempted scam.  Why else would they offer more than the buy it now price?  

Once the seller accepts the offer, the buyer then asks them to text so that they can get the sellers email address to pay. A buyer does not need the sellers email address to pay so any mention of texting or email address is generally a scam attempt.

An offer in a auction without a buy it now price is a bit different.  In some cases the buyer wants to make the offer higher than the current auction price because they want the item now rather than at the end of the auction. On they might think that the auction might end with a higher price than their offer so they want to buy it before that happens.

So a high offer on an auction isnt necessarily a scam attempt.  However, because you have 0 feedback and Xbox's are commonly scammed items, there is a good chance that someone may try to scam you by sending you a fake payment email or by filing a not as described return and returning the wrong item. Have you thought about trying to sell it on a local site?
