Hello @Stephenstephens 

Sounds like you need to open a dispute on paypal to get this fixed out.

Good for you ive got the exact steps you need to open a dispute!

Steps:

1. Log in to your PayPal account.
2. Open a dispute in the Resolution Center within 180 calendar days of your purchase, by clicking on “Dispute a Transaction” under “Report a problem”.
3. Select the transaction and click Continue.
4. Select “Item dispute“.
5. Click Continue and follow the on-screen instructions.

Kudos & Solved are greatly appreciated. 😊

 Thank you!

SOUNDS LIKE 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.
