Request for PayPal info outside eBay, is it fraud?

I recently won a game off eBay for a really cheap price, however a different item was sent to me by mistake. The seller has sent the orginal item to me, and has asked for my PayPal information so that they can send me the money to resend the item sent to me by mistake.

 

Does this sound like it could be a fraud? I don't really want to give out my PayPal information. Maybe I'm just being paranoid.

 

Thanks

I would tell them to send the money to you in a money order, and then I would mail it back to them. I wouldn't geve them my paypal Info.

You've already paid for the item - why should they want your Paypal info now?

 

I'd say no.

Thanks for all the help! :] He was able to send the money to me using my email address using the Send Money tab.
