Need help , Am I getting scammed

[SlayedByTamia]

I made a sale to a new Customer , they sent me PayPal transaction number BUT I didn’t get a PayPal confirmation email and the money isn’t in my account when I check pending transactions I don’t see it there 🤔 could they be scamming or is this normal . This isn’t my first time using PayPal use it often . The make that the customer sent to me said that the payment may take a few days because it’s a goods and service purchases ..🤔 and suggestions ?

This 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/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.
