Ebay customer asking lots of questions?
I am selling a few old video games on eBay as private seller to de-clutter the house.
A customer asked for more Information about one of the games and if it was authentic etc, I replied to them answering their questions and sent more photos to give the peace of mind and this dialog went on for about a week on the evenings after work on the eBay chat.
The person then asked for more photos and then out of the blue starting asking the questions in Spanish.
I got this translated and they told me to calm down like a good little boy in Spanish.
A week on they then switched back to English for no apparent reason asking for more pics of the item.
At this stage I'm tired of these messages so I had a look at their profile and it turns out they are based in Spain and their account has zero feedback whatsoever.
My cousin thinks it might be a scam as the customer account has no feedback and they have been asking these questions literally all day whilst I am at at work and until the early hours of the morning but they have not yet asked me about payment.
Would it be a good idea to block them even though they might make another account, I would prefer to only sell in UK but with the Global Shipping Programme I'm not sure that is allowed.

You can please some of the people some of the time, all of the people some of the time, some of the people all of the time but you can never please all of the people all of the time0 -
I have found that anyone who engages in a lot of dialogue, are time wasters.

Yes block.
Separately, it makes me wonder if this particular game is valuable, hence why they may have been trying to get certainty on its condition and authenticity.Might be worth a little bit of research.

Just ignore them and check the listing to ensure you not accepting international orders.
