I received two emails after someone purchased a playstation 3 i was selling on eBay, here is the first of them

I never received an email like that from paypal, asking me to include a tracking code, so i thought it was valid and went w/ it, so here's what i got next

So here is my question, is this a scam or a genuine email from Paypal holding on to my cash for me? I did ship the item. I hope i made the right decesion. 

 

What's weird is i received the first email at 4:52AM, i also received a payment two hours before that at 1:21AM and it went through normally and its in my PP acount right now. Perhaps it is because this is a large payment from eBay.

 

So can someone please tell me if this is a genuine PP email or a scammer?

It's a scam... you should immediately contact the shipping company to stop the shipment and have it returned to you.

How can you tell? It looks genuine?

PayPal doesn't have the procedure which the emails describe.  If a payment has been sent to your PayPal account, it will be displayed on your PayPal account overview page or history page.
