Payment not showing and buyer wants over night shipping..Please help!

I had someone send money through paypal for a pair of diamond earrings. I received an email saying that a payment has been made to me so I checked my paypal summary and nothing is showing. I read the forum on how to tell if an email is fake and there are a few red flags that hopefully someone with experience can clear up.

1) the email notifying I received a payment is coming from his personal email address

2) the email addresses me by my email not my first and last name

3) the email is stating that I can buy shipping quickly online and the link directs you to ebay even though paypal and ebay are separate now

 

Anyone have any information on these transactions?

 

Thanks.

BTW this is a sale through paypal directly and is not involving ebay

Hi mlstulting,

 

Good catch! If it addresses you by your email address, it's definitely not from us.  Good job being vigilant!

 

Thanks,

 

Adrian
