Dont fall for that crap & dont blame paypal, these scammers are using computers and they can manipulate a fake e-mail with a fake proof of payment sent to your paypal account. It happened to me when a scammer told me funds were sent to my account and e-mailed what he wanted me to beleive was proof. I didnt take his word or his e-mail for it, I checked my paypal account personally first before trusting anyone else especially those who pay more than your asking and will pay for any shipping charges bla-bla-bla. As I checked sure enough my paypal account showed a zero balance and I told the guy who of course wanted me to ship items immediately that funds were not in and I would wait till they were. Pay pal is safe it is the scammers who take the chance to fake an invoice or fake payment made using a computer to copy and paste pypal logo's etc. Dont fall for it, you have the ability to check your account at any time, so do it and dont ship untill your funds have been secured, DUH!!!
