Payment received for something I am selling

A buyer sent me money to my email and it says that the money is temporarily on hold until I prove that I shipped the package .

Is this legit? I've never been paid in my email before and I am afraid to ship the package before I receive the money.

Are the funds SHOWING in your paypal balance and paypal account activity OR are you relying on an email to say you have been paid?
