What were the cryptic messages? It may have been an attempt to connect with you off of ebay while bypassing their filters.

Good point. But the frequency and number of messages still makes it seem a bit odd regardless, no?

Oh, absolutely - I was just thinking about similar messages I've received, with things like a phone number embedded in nonsense text. I figured that what I was, anyway.

I've gotten the, "I like your card, will you take such and such amount? .. contact me on Insta.", before.

I essentially responded (paraphrasing), "How the hell to I do that?"

They responded (paraphrasing), "Duh, it's the same handle as my ebay handle".

I actually would have taken their offer and went to the trouble of marking it down just for them on Ebay, but never heard from them again after doing so.

Some of it was an attempt to meet off eBay but some other stuff was just like a person amusing themselves. Have to guess some mental illness. Just one more message today. Something peculiar about really not needing the cards index no. No clue.

I know plenty of sellers who would add that person to their block list immediately and just cancel the sale.

I have seen some do that also

I do not mind if they attempt an offline sale but if they keep sending odd messages and I do not get it then i just move on
