I have no idea if I’m getting scammed or not. I have a feeling I am and I’m very wary when it comes to this sort of thing so I came here to ask too just incase. I’m selling shoes for $350 on eBay and after someone asked to have it shipped today I told them I do not wish to ship until I receive the money into my actual bank account. After a few Back and fourth emails (yes I know you’re not supposed to contact people outside of eBay but I’m so new to this) they user said the money was sent and I recieved 2 emails from “PayPal” Although they just don’t seem right to me and I don’t want to see like a cow or like I’m scamming the other person if it does happen to be real. The email came from a gmail account... do PayPal even ema customers by a gmail account? And read : Funds Are On The Way! Payment Review Outcome: Cleared, OK to Ship. Scan and send us proof. Hello,{then my email} We have completed our payment review and have cleared this transaction which will reflect on your balance after complete verification of the receipt and picture of the gift card purchased/receipt. What to do next: (Kindly visit any nearest store around you and purchase the gift card so you can email us the receipt and picture of the gift card for proper verification so we can release the total pending funds into your account.) Payment Details: Amount:$620.00 AUD Transaction ID: {the “ID” Buyer's Email: {their email} We are pleased to inform you that your account will be credited with the total amount of $620.00 AUD after verification is completed. To know if your item is covered, check the 'Seller Protection' section of the 'PayPal Terms and Conditions' page. Please help me, I’m so confused on this and I don’t want to do the wrong thing by either person!
