Seller protection

[Carosi71]

Hello, 

I was just threatened by a buyer. I received a strange paypal confirmation in my Spam. From a very strange emailaddress. Which also said Dispatch Now!! So I told buyer I wanted to wait for a legit email from Paypal. The payment in Paypal was still on request. Buyer threatens my now to dispatch what shes paid for. I refused. Now buyer is treathening to report me. Help, I have done nothing wrong.

SOUNDS LIKE THIS SCAM READ IT AND SEE.

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.

Thank you so much. I was nearly in tears. I cancelled my payment request. I am so glad I listened to my underbelly.

This was quite upsetting I have to admit. Thank you again for your answer.
