Serial Numbers and eBay

I've never felt I could find a definitive answer to this, so perhaps someone can help. Sometimes potential eBay buyers ask for the serial number of a camera. Now on the face of it I don't mind one bit telling them, but I am aware that some sellers will not reveal the number. I can't think of what scam might make it unwise, so what do you do and why?

On every ebay listing I ever did, I not only stated the serial number on the list notes but also with lenses loaded a photo of the lens front showing the number....no chance of scammers claiming issues and returning some other lens...
