I was selled a gaming account to someone and he sent me a invoice, It said he gave me $600 but, it doesn't show up in my balance. And when I went to my activity detailed it showed a +. I'm curious if I am getting scammed or something is wrong.

SELLERS send invoices not buyers.

if it was marked as an invoice then its probably a scam doing the rounds as its been sent by a buyer and altered to look as though he has paid you.


signs its a scam are >>

its an invoice.

marked as paid

marked as gift

says payment won't show in your balance for eg 24 hours

can't be chargedback.

Paypal NEVER tell you to send anything until the funds are showing in your paypal account balance.

Paypal payments are more or less instant.

Paypal will never tell you that a payment can't be subject to a chargeback.
