Do you have a link or website?
Is this a Facebook "business"? It sounds like a typical scam "business" name on Facebook. Almost every single time, any of these "businesses" that incorporate the words "Accessories" or "Spare Parts" into their name are a scam. Do they have an actual non-Facebook website to back them up? Legitimate businesses, such as Murray Park, will usually have an actual website.
Also, when looking a business pages on Facebook, tap on the "About" tab on their page, scroll down to "Page Transparency", click "See all" and it will show you when the page was created, if it has changed names, and where the operator is from. Most scammers with "business" pages are only a few years old at the most and usually change names because they are scammers and need a fresh face to start scamming again. And they are usually from Cameroon.

eBay has a link

Security Measure
I see some things I look for in a seller. Since it's eBay, that doesn't mean you can't get screwed, but you have some protection with PayPal and eBay themselves. 100% good feedback with almost 6k items sold is good. I prefer buying through eBay, when possible, just because of that.
But here's the big one for sale sites. Look at the backgrounds of the pictures. Most guys will have two or three areas where they take pictures of their items. If you see that every item has a different background, run. But similar pictures on the same kitchen table is a good sign. Look in the background too, especially with cars. Snow in one pic with palm trees in the next one is a bad sign.
