I am selling my daughters wedding dress and found a buyer. I got an email supposedly from PayPal stating payment pending until I ship package and send an email with tracking number then funds will be released. I dont see anything in my PayPal account about a pending payment. Would like to know this is legit. The following is the email I received. Also, in the email where it says to click here to type in the tracking number so funds can be released doesnt work. When I hover my mouse over it nothing happens. Any feedback would be helpful. Thanks.
Transaction ID: You received a payment from your buyer - Ship now

Hello @Greg140,
Welcome to the PayPal Community! This is a great question! While PayPal does place payments on hold from time to time, you will always see the payment in your account first. What you've described does not sound like a legitimate payment. However, here are a few Help Center articles you may find useful:
What are common scams and how do I spot them?
How to spot fake, fraudulent, spoof, or phishing emails
How can I release my payment(s) on hold?
I hope that clears up any confusion! Best wishes and good luck on your sale!
