Hello @BiancaMarissa,
Welcome to the PayPal Community! I'm sorry to say, what you've described does not sound like a legitimate sale. You should never ship anything out until you see the transaction in your PayPal account. Even if it's on hold, you'll still see the transaction entry in your Account history. Since it doesn't sound like you've shipped anything yet, I'd recommend looking for another buyer for your item.
Good luck with your sale,
- Jon K

I would advise creating an invoice for the item, as that gives you seller protection, versus just doing a g&s payment, which gives you buyer protection. Also, any payment done through g&s or invoicing will apply on any platform as its based on Paypal's transactions, not on the platform that the deal takes place on.
