First time seller, just want to make sure this e-mail is legit

[M-Cunningham]

Hi guys,

First time seller here, and I just want to make sure this e-mail is legit before I go shipping anything. Screenshots below.

The amount is what I expected, the address is the same one the seller gave me via Messenger, and their name in the e-mail is the same as the one they've been using to communicate with me (save for the fact there's an extra "L" in the e-mail name but I'm not terribly concerned about that).

The payment hasn't yet shown up in my PayPal balance though, not even as anything that is "pending", which is a concern. How long does that usually take to show up?

Appreciate your time guys, thanks.

Total scam. PayPal does not ask you to ship before seeing funds in your account. PayPal does not ask you to email tracking to a gmail address. You need a transaction in your account to provide tracking.

You are a gentleman and a scholar, good sir 🙂
