Hello all,
I sold an item on eBay and the seller sent the payment via Paypal, as the amount is high, I was asked for tracking information, does that mean, I will post the item by Royal mail and take the screenshot of the receipt which shows the buyer address on it and send the below email address? Thank you in advance
*NOTE : Our system has received the above stated amount and will clear into your available balance once you complete the transaction with your buyer.
- Send the goods to the verified address below.
- Get back to PayPal (an E mail address provided here but not allowed containing with this message) with the tracking information.

SCAM.
They may buy on Ebay but they use an anonymous or hijacked Ebay account and do not have a Paypal account so they can't use Ebay checkout.
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.
Delete any emails and ignore the scammers.
Advice is voluntary.
Kudos / Solution appreciated.
