Tracking payment

[ohmlombi]

Hi everyone pls assist. I sold something to a person(16.Nov.2020) and they paid by PayPal. I shipped the item and sent evidence to PayPal they acknowledged, and also sent an email that I'll be able to cash out payment at 12:45 on 27 Nov 2020. I traced parcel and it's delivered to the person by courier. But to this point, my balance on the PayPal app is zero. I just want to find out how much time does it take for funds to be credited into seller's account Pls help

Sorry but it sounds like this SCAM?

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.

Paypal NEVER tell you to send an item before the payment is showing in your paypal account.
Paypal do not tell you to send trackable, they advise it for selling protection but it is not compulsory.
