Is this a scam? Suspect so...
Trying to buy 4 Eagles/Bears tix. Respond to a Craigslist ad, am asked to "provide your ebay user name and i'll invoice through ebay so that we're both protected."
Never heard of such a thing...

If you responded with email and give them your ebay user name they will spoof the email and get into the ebay account. Then try for your paypal I'd guess.

All he needs is your email address and he can send you a Paypal invoice. Done this many times.

You'll get a couple of ebay emails re" billed for shipping. It'll be for a couple bucks max. You'll think it's phising and ignore it till you get a slew of them 24-48 hours later and find you've been soaked for $70.00 in shipping.
You'll get your money back when you file a report but I suspect many victims of that scam assume the emails from ebay are BS and never look at them.
