Hi first time selling. Did the request for payment and got an email stating the payment request and to input the postal details once sent for funds to clear into my account. I don’t see anywhere to put postal details ? Any info/help with how this all works would be amazing thanks

Are the funds SHOWING in your balance or are you relying on an email?

If the latter then check its not this SCAM.

SCAM.

They encourage you to accept a direct Paypal payment and may ask you to send the item internationally.

They ask you to send an invoice or money request so that they have your email address to send fake paypal emails.
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.

Hi I can confirm it said it’s pending and yes i was asked to send a payment request. I was a bit unsure as they seem so quick to pay for the item without any questions about it really.

If its a money request or invoice 'pending' then they have not paid yet !!!
