Possible scam

I was sent an amount for something im selling.the buyer which is out of state sent 457.00 over.i have a pending deposit which says im supposed to go to western union or walmart or moneygram to send the remaining 457 for buyer shipper fees before the rest of the money is released.but there is no buyer shipper agent info at the bottom of the page that its telling me to scroll down to.does anything sound strange about that or has anyone had any previous experiences like this?

Typical scam.

Check the REAL email address of the sender; it is NOT from PayPal.

Check your PayPal account details; there is not money received.

PayPal does not use WU or MoneyGram.

So it is a scam?i shouldnt have to go to western union or money gram to send money to a shipping agent?

That's what I stated:  a typical scam.

Think rationally.  If you sell something, why would a buyer ask you to send money anywhere? That would be pretty stupid, right?

The message was NOT from PayPal.

PayPal does not tell you to send money anywhere when you are selling.

When you sell, you receive money; you don't send money.  It's common sense.
