Its a scam.

 

hijacked ebay account.

NO paypal account.

You will get FAKE paypal messages stating you have to send the item first BEFORE you get paid.

OR they will say you have to send the numbers from the gift cards first before you receive payment.

However it works they will NOT use ebay checkout and you will NOT see any funds in your paypal balance.
