Why such a price difference from €50 to ?
I have an item listed on a site for top price of €50 ( you cannot ask for more but you can sell for less )
someone has shown interest in it and I was letting it go for that price,now a woman has asked if I would ship the item to a European country with an offer of 11 times that price( yes 11 times) the item is not valuable so why would someone make an offer with such a wide difference when they would have known what I had asked for ,I don't understand
Update:It is NOT an auction format ,what you ask for is the* top * price you are allowed to receive but you can sell for less that is according to the rules.

11 times that price?!?!?!? Offering you €550 instead of €50 sounds really fishy. I suppose she wants to pay by check, money order or something similar.
What normally happens if you agree, is that she sends you the money, and you ship the item. A day or two after you deposit the money, your bank tells you the check/money order is fake and you now owe the bank money (normally $25-$50 for a bad check fee). So you are out money AND whatever it is you sold (since you asked in the camera section, I guess it is a camera).
They must really want it. I've often put a maximum bid on an item, maybe that's what she was trying to do.
