Payments

[Cameron201]

I’ve received a payment of $570 for a item a sold but I have been having issues because first my account wasn’t a business user so the customer had to send me $400 so It could become one. After that paypal wanted me to buy Itunes gifts of $400for verification crediting my account. So after I did that this morning i was emailed and told to purchase another gift card of $350 for Certificate Fee charge and send them a email of vocher code and now they asking me to purchase another gift card and I just want to know what is going on ?

You are being SCAMMED.

They will keep asking for vouchers for as long as you continue to send them but you won't get paid any money.

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 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.
OR
They may try again to get you to send vouchers from other companies for daft paypal related so called 'issues'.

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.
Paypal NEVER expect you to pay to upgrade an account or for any other paypal issue ESPECIALLY not other companies vouchers or gift cards.
