Hi, I have never used PayPal to receive a payment for a item I am selling on Kijiji so I am new to this. The buyer supposbly has sent an additional $550 for shipping cost and $100 for extra fees and says for me to send the $550 to a shipping outlet via Western Union. Also according to my email I have received, this deposit has a temporary hold until I confirm shipping. But that means I would have to front the extra cash first. This looks like a scam to me. Additional information is that they want to have my item sent to I believe to spain. With the transport company "Freight Forward". Also I had sent a payment request throught the PayPal website and it still has a pending status and I can see no actual status change. Is it safe to assume that this is a scam? If so should/can I report this to PayPal?
