account shows no activity when buyer paid

[Liorag88]

Hello This is my first transaction in years. I just updated my account and sold my expensive handbag on craigslist. buyer said they made payments to my account and paid me extra for shipping to niece in new hamshire as gift. I got an email from PayPal saying they will not release funds until I provide yracking information. But my actual PayPal account doesn't show any activity whatsoever. Is this normal not to show when transaction is pending

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.
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.

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.

Delete any emails and ignore the scammers.
