Hello,
For the first time, I was selling something on a well renowned site.
I was contacted by someone to use PAYPAL as the payment method - seemed fine to me.
I was asked to create an invoice which I did and then received emails asking for proof of despatch.
After I went to the post, I scanned the receipt and sent it to "Paypal" - and received dubious emails regardind buying €300 of coupons and then the amount owed could be sent.
I realised it was a fraud.
Does the real PAYPAL require proof of despatch before payment of an invoice ????

I don't know but I have paid for something that I have not received. I can't get in touch with PayPal, no matter what I try. I simply cannot get hold of them. I have a 0800 number but I ring and it immediately cuts me off. I have received emails but I can't reply to them. I am feeling concerned about it all and don't know what else to do.
