Byer send some messige Belov, are this correct???

 

Hello,

I just complete the transfer and you would have received confirmation from PayPal.. so I want you to send me the address where the pick up would be made and I made an additional payment of €850.00 EUR for the shipping agent pick up fee and I am sure you noticed that according to PayPal's policy you'll have to send the extra amount to the shipping company headquarters through MoneyGram transfer and then send the MoneyGram transfer information to PayPal for verification, so the transaction can be finalized...

Here is the info you need to send the fee to the shipping agent through MoneyGram Transfer:

 

I will advise you to check your inbox or spam/junk folder for the PayPal confirmation email in one of these folders...
It's nice doing business with you.

Thanks once again

 

i answer him see belov

Hello
I have no idea what this is, but how you do with the transport, there is nothing that concerns me. I do not send any MC until everything is on paypal and the previous deposits have been without problems etc.

SCAM.

They encourage you to accept a 'direct' Paypal payment.
No funds or activity of the transaction shows in your Paypal account and any emails 'may' go into your junk/spam folders.

They don't quibble on cost and may also say they can't view the item as they are disabled or working abroad etc etc but they will arrange a shipping agent to collect it.

You will get/got a "fake" email that looks as though it is from paypal.....it isn't because they don't actually have a Paypal account and have no intention of paying you.
It will say the buyer has paid ...you won't have been paid.

The 'fake' paypal email will tell you that the buyer has paid for the item + shipping costs but you must send those shipping costs to the courier/ shipping agent via anther payment processor than Paypal OR via providing some vouchers or tokens before the funds are released to you.
They are not interested in the item, they just want that couriers/shipping funds and you will never see money in your paypal balance.

Paypal NEVER tell you to send an item before the payment is showing in your paypal account.
Paypal NEVER expect you to use a rival money transfer service eg Moneygram or Western Union etc.
Also their is no seller protection on paypal for any type of item that is collected by the buyer.

Delete any emails and ignore the scammers.
