Hello I need help I have someone saying that they want to buy my product but also want to send me some extra to put a gift card with it and when they claimed that they sent the money nothing is in my account and I'm getting told that I have to buy the large amount gift card myself first then I will get the money and when I said I can't because I can't to spend that kind of money on a gift card without the money they said that they would send they said that they are going to call the cops saying that I'm trying to pull a fast one on them

SCAM.
They may buy on Ebay but they use an anonymous or hijacked Ebay account and do not have a Paypal account so they can't use Ebay checkout.

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

You will get/got a "fake" email that looks as though it is from paypal.....it isn't because they don't have a Paypal account and have no intention of paying you.
It will say the buyer has paid ...you won't have been paid.
They will tell you that the payment is released when you provide paypal with a tracking/shipping number......this won't happen.

Sometimes they do not even want your item all they want is to scam you of a GIFT CARD stating you have to give them that first before funds are released, which is false and a scam.
