I BET ITS THIS SCAM, PERSONALLY FACEBOOK IS THE LAST PLACE I WOULD BE SELLING A PRICY ITEM.
SCAM.
They encourage you to accept a 'direct' Paypal payment.
They ask you to send a money request so that they then have the details to send you a FAKE paid email.
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.
Advice is voluntary.
Kudos / Solution appreciated.
