Hi Maxsc1993,

 

Welcome to the community forum and thanks for posting.

 

We may ask you to send an item before money is released to you but you will see that money pending in your PayPal account. You will never be asked to ship before a payment is showing up in your account.
 

You will find some tips on being able to identify a fake email here.

 

I hope this helps.
