I deal with a buyer on ebay, and she said she can't message on ebay because of an error. Im chatting by message w/ her rn. She debited twice. It is $450 ×2. So, it's $900 and then she ordered to me that i have to get $450worth of ebay cards and send it to PayPal. After I send email to PayPal, then she will get money. Does PayPal say like "send to ebay gift card number to us" I'm just worried about probability of a scam. help me.

Sounds like scam.
1) Do you see payment in your PayPal account? If you do not see payment, you have not been paid.
2) I do not understand this transaction. Are you selling gift cards, too? This person can buy a gift card online easy by themselves. They don't need you to buy a gift card for them. Doesn't make sense.
3) PayPal does not ask you to buy gift cards and give them gift card code to receive/release money to you or anyone. That's complete utter nonsense.
4) If you happen to receive money from this person (check your PayPal account), its is best that you refund them all the money back and cancel their order because the whole transaction is sketchy and scammy and the money could have come from stolen financial information.
5) Real buyers do not pay extra, a large amount when you did not ask for it. In fact, they want to pay as less as possible.
Kudos & Solved are greatly appreciated. 🙂
