Hi, I'm trying to sell my xbox and I have someone someone who is interested in it. I'm new to paypal so I'm not sure how everything works just yet. They asked for my email address so I sent them my main icloud address, but they just got back to me saying that they cant send the money as they're paying via friends and family and therefore in order to proceed I need to change to my address to either yahoo, gmail or hotmail. Should I be concerned by this?

Yes, its a scam, never accept a friends/family payment for selling as you will have 0 seller protection.
You also never have to change your email address, you would probably have gotten fake paypal emails saying funds released after you sent the item but the funds would NEVER show in your paypal balance.

Kudos / Solution appreciated.
