Okay, first off hello, i need help in my situation, did sold some digital stuff online to this one person, i gave my stuff and he paid for it but, the only problem is that is says "your receipient will receive the money by 28th december 2018" which was 9 days after the transaction occured, it is only showed on his side, i dont have anything pending whatsoever on my account but he did screenshot the invoice. What should i do? Did i get scammed?

If it was marked as an invoice then its probably a scam doing the rounds as its been sent by a buyer and altered to look as though he has paid you.
Signs its a scam are >>>
its an invoice BUT sellers send invoices not buyers
marked as paid
marked as gift
says payment won't show in your balance for eg 24 hours
can't be chargedback.

Paypal NEVER tell you to send anything until the funds are showing in your paypal account balance.
Paypal payments are more or less instant.
Paypal will never tell you that a payment can't be subject to a chargeback if thats what scammers are still putting on invoices.

If he had paid you would have funds in your paypal balance.
