Not many pictures, post only...

Unusual to start bidding so low for that tuba without a reserve etc.

The second picture seems suspicious to me...You can link your ebay account to your email and gets messages instantly, so I don't see the need for an e-mail unless it's a scam, or a way to avoid ebay fees.

plus googling the email gives this:

So, yes, It's a scam
