Hi, I’ve never used the PayPal before so I wanna ask about the payment issue. I sell my stuff for a person from another country. He transferred me from his PayPal to my bank account. Then I received an email like I need to send him the stuff and confirm that with a shipment tracking. I’m little confused because I’m not sure if that email is authentic or not. I mean there’s some people often try to scam via email. please help me with this issue. Thanks

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.
Delete any emails and ignore the scammers.
