    Can you post some of the text (personal details disguised) to allow us to see the form of the emails?

    Following is the form of email I am getting. As soon i post my product, after some time I get these type of emails.

    "Hello,
    I just saw your add on olx .I am intrested in your item for sale..Please let me know if it is still available for sale and what your best offer is. Hope to hear from you soon."


    If they want to buy product, they can directly go to my site and buy as I have already inserted my website link in the product description.

    I think you should not reply such mails and mark it as a spam mail to deliver it directly in junk folder.

    Maybe this person is a scammer or maybe they are really interested in your product but they are trying to get you to sell it to them at a lesser price?

    you right clarkeson. next email would be like, can ship the item to my partner or whoever in south Africa. Don't reply to any of them emails what so ever. because they never mention what item is the email for.
