Can't see the email as its been removed by the moderators as you can't post email addresses on here.
BUT sounds like this scam........
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.
They also 'sometimes' threaten legal action...have a laugh at that one and ignore it as its rubbish.
Once you have become a victim they may try again with more fake Paypal emails with other 'reasons' that you must send them a payment for any made up account issues that they can think of.
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 tell you to send money to activate your account or receive funds.
Paypal NEVER expect you to use a rival money transfer service eg Moneygram or Western Union, Bank Transfer etc.
Delete any emails and ignore the scammers.
Advice is voluntary.
Kudos / Solution appreciated.
