SCAM? NOT SURE PLEASE HELP!

[Louueezee]

Not sure if I was scammed. I recieved a email saying:

  Funds availability for your recent eBay sales

While establishing a successful sales history on eBay, access to funds from your eBay sales 

will be restrain to help ensure the successful fulfillment.

What's the quickest way to get my funds?

Your funds will be accessible immediately the shipment has been confirmed. We recommend shipment should be process immediately as this Paypal payment has been deducted from the buyer's account and this transaction has been "APPROVED".

Funds will be accessible in your account upon verifying shipment tracking information provided to us; click here to arrange shipment. When you complete the shipment for this item:

We recommend that you:

• Ship to the buyer's address provided below
• Send The Tracking Number For Confirmation
• You will receive an update about your fund immediately we have complete the shipment verification process.
• Your funds will be accessible upon shipment verification.

Click here to print shipping labels on ebay or click here to print label on USPS online.

If you ship items using another courier service different from the buyer's preference, present the shipment tracking number here immediately, and you can get your funds accessible or less after eBay confirms delivery.

• Shipment can be processed directly through USPS, UPS, or Federal Express, and shipment tracking information can be provided here.

• You can Process your shipment on eBay and Schedule a free USPS pick up

• If you don't provide your tracking information and ship the item, the funds availability date to get your funds will be an estimated of 21 days after your buyer pays.

THIS IS A TYPICAL PAYPAL SCAM.

They encourage you to use paypal and often ask you to send the item as a gift to a relative somewhere often Nigeria.

You will get/got a "fake" email that looks as though it is from paypal.....it isn't.

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.

They also threaten legal action...have a laugh at that one and ignore it as its rubbish.

Paypal NEVER tell you to send trackable, they advise it for seller protection etc but it is not compulsory.

Paypal NEVER tell you to send an item before the payment is showing in your paypal account.

Marking one of my replies as a solution would be appreciated if I sorted your problem.

Sorry about the duplicate thread accidently posted that. But I have shipped the item already and hes received it what do I do? Contact ebay? or Should I call the city's police department to take back the package?
