Hello albertlesbretelles
Typically people respond directly to the email contact info within the body of the auction listing. They are then sent fake invoices/receipts and/or payment instructions.
Whatever you do, if you are using ebay/paypal, Never trust the contents of emails received purporting to be from them. In fact, don't even bother opening them. Always go to your accounts & log in there. If the transactions/communications are are legit, they will be there.
Thnks for watchng & cmmntng

Continuing. There are variations on this scam method which target sellers as well. Sellers are sent offers & fake paypal receipts, asking for shipping confirmation before funds are to be released. Again, do NOT TRUST any emails which appear to come from ebay or PP. Instead, go directly to your account and log in there. Trojans, keyloggers etc have been known to be included in phake/phishing emails, that is why I say not to even bother opening them.
Best advice - avoid ebay-Paypal completely
