Pay Pal says they are holding a transaction from me until i supply a tracking number for an item to be shipped. Once the item is shipped it says it will complete the transfer. This sounds untrue, because i wait for cleared payment before i ship anything.

I rethe same type of email from an item i sold on ebay. I called paypal and they told me they do not send out emails requesting tracking numbers, so I am suspicious of buyer. I would not send til it is clarified.

yeah that is what i figured. they are just trying to get me to ship it before i figure it out that way they will still receive it.  I knew it was a scam once i read the e mail but i just wanted to find someone who would reaffirm it for me.   people **bleep**!  Wish people would not ruin good things for us.  i hope someone steals their identity and buys a house and then the house forecloses on those people.
