Is the sellers email address on the invoice? If so then email them and tell them they sent it to you by mistake and then cancel it.

They could have just made a mistake spelling the email address when they sent it and it went to your account.
Is it showing in your paypal accout or did you just get an email?

Thank you for replying. It is showing in my PayPal account as well as an email. It's in Euros and from someone I have never heard of or had dealings with before. It's asking for 9 Euros for delivery. Should I just cancel the request?
Kind regards
Annie
