Is this a scam? @usa.com

[Tris_Hase]

@usa.com I received a payment email from this address. After a buyer asked me to ship the item to US, and will pay me the price and shipping, total $850. The email ask me to reply the shipping number, or click the link to enter the number. Before I provide the shipping number, the buyer's transaction will remain pending. I just want to make sure this address is true or not.

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.

Even if funds were pending or on hold they would still SHOW in your paypal balance.
Delete any emails and ignore the scammers.
