| We just had a buyer request a quote for an expensive set.
The buyer then send a PayPal REQUEST for the quoted amount.
A pop-up on my phone asked me to Accept or Decline the REQUEST for money.
If I had Accepted - I would have Paid the buyer.
I declined, and politely messaged the buyer that they need to accept the quote
and then use pay button beside the order.
The buyer at this point cancelled the quote and said -- "I might have
to pass on this one"
tldr - buyer tried to scam me buy requesting the money on PayPal we quoted him
-- If this was completely innocent, I apologize in advance:

It happened to me once.
That can happen like here (Vietnam buyer?) especially when English isn't
their language, and/or confused on buying on Internet...
Be cool, it's Christmas
