I received a message from paypal that a payment was verified, however my account still says pending. I do not want to ship without knowing for sure if this is correct. How can I find out? The message about the payment went to my spam, whereas other paypal emails did not. I tried to paste it into the body of this message but kept getting errors.

That's a scam.
Specifically, it's called the Nigerian Scam. See the Fraud section on these boards for more examples.
Don't ship anything - the money is not there.
You'll get emails from the fake "buyer" in a day or so, threatening to have your paypal account suspended and to report you to the FBI - just ignore them.

Take out the email addresses and you should be able to post it.
It maybe a scam - don't ship anything until you know it's clear.

Oh, that.
Just hit "Submit" the second time.
The message means that the system has cleaned up the HTML for you.
