Yes, the way it’s worded I could tell right away, but best way to tell? Click on the “from” name on the top of the email to get the originators address. My guess is it’s wacky and most def not really PayPal. Is This scam is actually still duping people? I know it’s hard to tell if your are new but always always air on the side of caution if your even a tiny amount suspicious

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 or spam folders.

You will get/got a "fake" email that looks as though it is from paypal.....it isn't because they don't actually 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.
