Selling on EBAY for somebody else..
Hi all, I've been asked by somebody to sell some expensive farming machinery on EBAY on their behalf.
They have claimed that they cannot do this using their own account as they have a limit due to being a new seller.
They have promised me a cut of the money if i do this for them but i'm concerned i might be getting scammed.
Basically, they want me to list the equipment at around £4000 as buy-it-now, and then send them 95% after fees and keep 5% for my troubles.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

I've listed some double glazing for my brother in law as he isn't tech savvy, I know he won't rip someone off leaving me looking like a thief.
As a rule no but if it's family or close friend I would, I'm guessing it'll be picked up with cash by the buyer anyway, can't imagine you can post whatever it is if it's for farming.
PayPal are useless
Leaving you open to being collected then dispute opened and buyer refunded
Is it definitely his machinery
I don't really know him to be honest and i'd be setting myself up for a fall by the sounds of it.
Appreciate the advice @deleted800342 @vcd1man @Richard_Richard @Bradleigh
hmmm what a way to live!
We all know that Magic Beans end up with a chicken that can lay Golden Eggs!
Count me in! Hahaha
My suspicion is that he will purchase the equipment using a different account and then contact Ebay for a refund after i send him the money, leaving me £4k out of pocket...
I was already convinced that this was a scam, i just wasn't sure on his angle or how exactly i was going to be financially disadvantaged!
