How long does it take for the management for approve the tracking number you have given them in order for me to receive my payment, that is now still pending, but the package has been given to the post office, given the track and trace to PayPal. 6 hours further and have not heard anything yet.

Firstly to check its not a scam are the funds SHOWING in your paypal account balance but pending?

Or are the NOT showing at all?

They are showing as pending. Got the email confirmation from PayPal that money has been send to my account etc. It’s now just all about approving that track and trace.

And according to the email, after the track and trace has been validated/confirmed, my funds will be released and I will acces to that money. The email said it can take up to 12 hours for validating the shipment. It is in the post office, have the track and trace.. been 6 hours now.. does it really take that long for validating a track and trace? I have now no phone, and no money?? 😞

Sorry but you still haven't confirmed that the transaction is SHOWING in your paypal balance.

Only it still sounds like a scam to me.

Are you seeing the funds in your balance and paypal activity???

Only that does NOT sound like any legit paypal email to me.

No the funds are pending. No balance available yet because according to the emails the shipment needs to be confirmed which can take up to 12 hours. I have send out the payment, payment says pending. Have a confirmation email that they paid, after the shipment has been approved, the track and trace being acknowledged, the funds will be put in my balance. So you are telling me that the emails I got from PayPal are a scam?

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.

Sadly nothing, it was a SCAM.
