Scam??

[RegionsBeast]

So I got an email that says I received a payment of this much and that it’ll be pending until buyer confirms delivery or something like that... Idk if the email was true and I just have to wait for the funds because no I shipped out the package which was probably the wrong move... I need help desperately... was this a scam? And if so what can I do urgently to get my funds or my products back

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 or spam folders.

They don't quibble on cost and may also say they can't view the item as they are disabled or working abroad etc etc but they will arrange a shipping agent to collect it.

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.
Delete any emails and ignore the scammers.

If the funds NEVER showed in your paypal balance and the transaction NEVER showed in your paypal account then it has nothing to do with paypal as none of the transaction was done using paypals site.

It would have been done by scammers using spoof emails pretending to be paypal that you unfortunately fell for.

If the scammers were in your own country (unlikely) then you may be able to take private legal action, if not then not a lot you can do.

You could try contacting the postal service you used and see if they can advise you on the possibility of stopping the item leaving the U.S?
