Hi ,I sell one radio on an ad. One customer got a little interested, asked a few things, and suggested they pay me the radio right away. He does not want to tell me  country or any information. He claims he has paid and I recive emails (from paypal) that I do not regret to open. I replied that Paypal balance is the only thing that matters to me. Am I right. Greeting.

Hi @sasabcp,

 

Thank you for your post!

 

Do you see the transaction in your PayPal account summary? If there is no transaction there, then you should view those emails with suspicion. If there are transactions in your PayPal account but the balance is still zero, the payments may be subject to delayed funds availability.

 

I hope this helps!

Do nothing, be cool, you see the flow of money in your balance. These are scammers wanting you to log on to their fake page to clear your account.
