I'm worried I might be about to be scammed - help?

I was contacted after an eBay listing had finished. It all sounds genuine. They have asked me to request money from them, which I have done. I have now received an email from them which doesn't feel right. The hyperlink in the email to enter a tracking parcel number does not lead to a paypal address. Are y instincts working here? I do not want to get ripped off.

Yes, your instincts are tingling. Total scam.

Thank you so much. I have worked away from home all week and I am so tired today. Had this happened during business hours I would have skittled around to get the thing posted. It might be obvious to everyone else but it wasn't to me. Thanks again.
