A payment to me is missing.

I am having problems with a transaction of selling my laptop. The person did send payment and it went to spam folder saying it was approved and it’s pending until I send shipping track #. But the transaction is not showing up anywhere in PayPal. And there’s is nothing clickable in the message saying that a payment was sent.. Could this be a scam?

This is a typical scam ..................

You will get/got a "fake" email that looks as though it is from paypal.....it isn't because they don't actually have a Paypal account and have no intention of paying you.
It will say the buyer has paid ...you won't have been paid.
They will tell you that the payment is released when you provide paypal with a tracking/shipping number......this won't happen.

Paypal NEVER tell you to send an item before the payment is showing in your paypal account.
Paypal do not tell you to send trackable, they advise it for selling protection but it is not compulsory.

Even if pending funds still SHOW up in your Paypal balance.

Delete any emails and ignore the scammers.
