New seller Confused on payment

[temp20210320a]

Hi, im new to selling and just sold a computer, im looking at emails and it says funds available in 1-2 days after shipping. The buyer had a different address than what was on ebay but i filled out a form for the shipping info to receive payment. I am confused on if this will mess up my payment since the address is different from the ebay address and if i sent it to the right people. Please help

PLEASE SAY ITS NOT THIS SCAM?

They encourage you to accept a direct Paypal payment and may ask you to send the item internationally.
No funds or activity of the transaction shows in your Paypal account and any emails may go into your junk/spam folders.

You will get/got a "fake" email that looks as though it is from paypal.....it isn't because they don't have a Paypal account and have no intention of paying you.
It will say the buyer has paid ...you won't have been paid.
They will tell you that the payment is released when you provide paypal with a tracking/shipping number......this won't happen.

Paypal NEVER tell you to send an item before the payment is showing in your paypal account.
Paypal do not tell you to send trackable, they advise it for selling protection but it is not compulsory.
Delete any emails and ignore the scammers.
