i was selling an item on eBay and someone messaged me to get in contact with them via email so i did and they agreed to pay for the item via paypal and they said they had done the payment but it was not showing in my account. i recieved an email in my junk email saying that the payment had been made but im not sure if it is fake or not because it said i had to send the item and confirm shipping before i recieved the money

It's a scam. If you don't have any sign of the payment in your account then it didn't happen, simple as that.

Hi there, 

I have sent off an item on eBay to a buyer. The buyer said they would pay via PayPal but got in contact with me via email. I received junk email messages confirming payment from both an eBay and PayPal account. It has been a week and there is no sign of a pending message or transaction in my account. Anyone had same problem and know what to do?
