Earlier this week i bought an item off of ebay. The user had me send the money through a paypal e-mail invoice because he couldnt recieve money though his paypal the regular way. The email looked completely legit and everything, had to type in my password and log into paypal as normal.After i sent my payment I went to Ebay and realized the user had deleted their ebay account (this could have been befoe or after I sent the payment because I sent it a couple days after and didnt check to see if his account was still active). And now I do not know of anyway to get in touch with the user since his account was deleted. PLEASE help me.Does this sound like a scam to anyone? The email had to be legit but with him deleteing his account it has me worried and idk how to get my payment back!!! PLEASE HELP ASAP!!!

This happened to me.  Ebay or Paypal contacted me but I put in a report and never got my money back.  I do not know what happened.  They never got back to me.  You just have to be careful/
