I want some advice guys! I was selling a sofa so the buyer said she payed through PayPal but the courier needed paying . However the buyer couldn't go to money gram to pay them so I needed to send money and once I had (out of my own pocket) PayPal would credit my account. So I payed money then buyer said I sent wrong amount and courier needed more money but that PayPal would credit my account again. I refused to pay out of my own pocket again so I received an email saying until I pay the courier , PayPal won't credit my account .. I contacted PayPal that said they aren't holding any money for me!

Of course PayPal is not holding any money.
A seller never pays a buyer for an item the seller has for sale.
You mean you actually sent money to this fake buyer? If so, it is lost.
This is such a typical scam and the email was not from PayPal.
