I've been contatcting with my buyer and I got couple of emails

 

called instant_reference,

and financier dot com

 

 

and with the email said...

 

Note: Once you have posted the Item to the buyer's nominated address,and you immediately send the buyer the Shipment Tracking Number for verification,your account will instantaneously be credited.You will receive a " Confirmation  e-mail "  from PayPal informing you that the Money has been credited the payment has been made under your name.

 

 

Is this you?

 

Can I send the item to the buyer?

Are you sending it to somewhere like Nigeria? 

 

Read this. 

 

THIS IS A 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 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.

Delete any emails and ignore the scammers.
