Came across lots of these types of scams when attempting to sell a vehicle online –usually easy to detect –the whole too good to be true thing is usually the first flag ..offering extra money, paying too much, asking for refund of difference, lack of specific detail in email (mainly generic questions/statements) ..are all common scam flags to avoid..
I’ve had good results with Ebay in the past.. and PayPal offers additional protection, etc.. against scammers and the like.. especially when selling outside of Ebay..
it’s also easy enough to set up a PayPal account if not a member, so if/when someone is serious about honestly purchasing they’ll usually take the step..
Also can get a vibe from the individual as far as having any knowledge of the item/sport –scammers usually have no clue and will simply cut and paste your item title into their scam template email..
