Well, I sent a money request to a PayPal address, so the account linked to that address is surely the scammers. Surely the least PayPal could do it shut down his paypal account?    Thanks for keeping an eye on this forum and informing people, it might be super obvious to people like yourself but to me it's the first time I've ever tried to sell a personal item through ebay/paypal so a completely new world! ...

Thank you for your help.  I will not engage in any further chat with them and have reported the ebay account, paypal account and delivery details to the police, as well as ebay and paypal support teams.   I'm not too sure what you mean by re-direct but since he was asking for the package to be delivered to a specific address in London, I assume that whoever will collect it at that address is involved in the scam process so no harm for the police to do some checks on that. They actually sounded very interested and assured me that further checks and an investigation will take place.     ... View more

Am I being scam? Suspicious transaction email???

Hi there   First time selling an item on eBay.  Item listed as auction. Someone gets in touch via dm saying that he'll pay way above the asking bid and tells me to send him a money request via Paypal - I did.   Then I get a suspicious email from this address <removed>,- which is supposed to be PayPayl????   Please see the content in the image below...saying that funds will only show once I provide him with a tracking number, smells a bit fishy.  Also, transaction ID differs from what I have on my account activity next to the money request I sent...also, none of the PayPal hyperlinks in the email seem to work.   Obviously haven't send any package yet, what do you think? I've got a genuine name and address from London which is censored in the image. If it's a scam I'm determined to take it to the police and make sure that person gets what he deserves.    Any help from experienced eBay/PayPal community members would be truly appreciated.   Thank you.    ...
