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 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.

respect I sold something to ebay and I got an e-mail that the money was released but I do not see it in the account I'm interested in whether I'm cheated or really paid

Was wondering. Why is my payment that was due 3 hours ago not coming through?

serval2019 · ‎Jun-29-2019

Email is strange and there's a lot of scams Can I check the transaction through the number that I have in the email?

Check this first............

Go to ebay and click on 'sell' put in anything (as you aren't going to actually list anything) until you get to the main page > scroll down near the bottom and where it says payment methods check the email address that is on that page, is there a spelling mistake or old one?

@serval2019

ok then is the transaction marked as paid in your 'my ebay' and did you get an Ebay email confirmation that you sold the item AND one that said the buyer had paid from paypal?
