Hi,
I've never sold anything using Pay Pal as the portal to receive payment. I have a potential buyer for my item asking for my Pay Pal account details but I'm unsure how to complete the transaction without being scammed.
What are the secure steps I should take please?

How do I create and send an invoice or payment request?
Remenber:
- “pending” status invoices/money requests are unpaid
- always check your PayPal account for a record of received payment before shipping
- even if a payment is subject to PayPal hold, you still see the record of payment in your account
- providing tracking info is optional and via the transaction record itself in PayPal account, not by email.
- PayPal payment confirmation emails can be spoofed so always log on to check on payments
- only sellers send invoices and money requests, not buyers
- PayPal does not ask you to pay a third party payment or shipping agent, or buy and reveal codes to gift cards
Kudos & Solved are greatly appreciated. 🙂
