Hello friends 

I sold something on eBay and the buyer sent me 400 dollars threw PayPal but is asking me to buy a $300 gift card for eBay and send it to them. The email I got from them about the transaction threw PayPal was in my spam when its usually not. I think I'm being scared but I'm not 100% sure. They are telling me they sent the $400 but I don't see it anywhere in my PayPal. Please if you can help me

Also they would not have used ebay checkout and 0 funds would be showing in your paypal balance, you have not been paid, any emails were FAKE.
