Western union transaction

Hello everyone!

 

I am using PayPal for the first time and require any of the community members help.

 

i have recently placed a furniture for sale on gumtree and carousel. I got a buyer for it too who wants to pay through PayPal and that is why I registered here. So this is my first time.

 

I have received an email from PayPal saying the customers account has been deducted however the payment will be released to my account once the shipping agents fee (which has been paid by the buyer that has been added with the funds which will be released) Is sent through Western Union. 

 

This email from PayPal looks fully legitimate along since it has the subject with a transaction number as well.

 

is this the way selling done in PayPal? I'm asking since I saw some scam articles. 

 

The he buyer is still chatting with me on what's app and asking me to send the money on western union so that I can collect the money.

 

please help me since I don't want to be duped.

 

regards 

Sandy
