Hello @rhani,
Welcome to the PayPal Community!
I'm sorry to hear about the concern that your recent payment has caused. I can confirm that you are correct. As soon as you receive a payment, the payment will show in your PayPal account, even if it's placed on a payment hold. Please do not ship any items or provide a service unless you can see the money in your PayPal account. You can learn more about how to spot and report a fake PayPal email on our Help Center here: How do I spot and report a fake, fraudulent, spoof, or phishing emails? I also recommend reviewing this article for more information on common scams: What are common scams and how do I spot them?
I hope this information helps!
