It's a definite scam, don't send the item or you will lose it.

Banks never get involved in payments in this way. If someone sends you money, it will arrive in your account, a bank will not hold on to it pending proof of an item being sold.

Secondly, if you are selling via Ebay, anyone who asks to deal with you outside of Ebay's systems is scamming you. All communication and payments should be made via Ebay, not email.

Please do not tell scammers that they are listed here - it will take them seconds to change their fake details and their new details will not be listed for any future victims to find.
