Hi, please can someone help me as I am new to PayPal and am so confused at the moment. I am currently selling a sofa on gumtree which someone has shown interest and said they were going to transfer the money into my PayPal account, which didn’t seem a problem? Only to then be emailed and told that she has transferred the correct money for the sofa but also added £300 to the bill as she has been having problems with a courier and they are demanding the money before arranging collection, so she now wants me to transfer £300 via bank transfer not PayPal out of my own money because apparently if o do this, PayPal will release the the money she has sent me? She never mentioned anything about me sending the courier money until she had sent the money to me? I am so confused and worried as now I have received another email to say that if I don’t complete the transaction I can get into legal trouble, please can someone help me on what to do? Thanks
