Hi. I dont know if this legit or not please help. Was selling an item on gumtree and got an email from a buyer. They said that due to issues they needed to get a courier to come pick up the item (which i sold for £60) This I had no issue with. The next email I received from them saying they due to personal reasons could not transfer the £300 to the courier and if i could do it. They sent me £360 over paypal. I then receive the email from paypal saying they are holding the £360 until I pay the courier £300. This was not explained to be before sending me the £360, I do not have £300 in my bank account to send to a courier that I do not know. I sent replied this to paypal and the buyer. And now are saying they are taking legal action as I broke the paypal code?! I am very confused and feel a bit mugged off here. The buyer is now saying the £360 has been taken from their account and they now dont have the money so need me to pay the courier ASAP. I have sent the email to Spoof@paypal. But is this legit? Should I pay the 300 to the courier and get it back from paypal
