A PayPal transaction cannot be faked.  It WILL be in your PayPal activity list on your computer.  You need to check the transaction details on your computer; PayPal will provide shipping and other information.  Never ship unless PayPal approves.

if ebay removes his Ebay account,then he is probably suspended and tried to comeback.

did you get an email from Ebay?

it is up to you if you stil want to ship,look at the paypal notice,if it is eligible for protection and the address you are supposed t o ship to.

you wil get no Ebay protection,but you will get Paypal ,review the notice from Paypal before you ship
