Why isn’t the transaction showing up on my paypal? Is this a scam?

[Dinomiteking]

A buyer send me money using a business account using my email. I haven’t gotten any notification on paypal account but it did give me a transaction id. I just want to make sure the money will be transferred to my paypal before i ship it. The buyer wants one day shipping so i need to find out ASAP! Thanks!

SOUNDS LIKE THE BELOW SCAM IF THERE ARE NO FUNDS IN YOUR PAYPAL BALANCE.

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 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.
