THIS IS A SCAM. You will get/got a "fake" email that looks as though it is from paypal.....it isn't. It will say the buyer has paid ...you won't have been paid. They will tell you that the payment is released when you provide paypal with a tracking/shipping number......this won't happen.   Or they say you need to pay the "shipping agent" for them via western union, they don't want your item the scam is that payment. They threaten legal action...have a laugh at that one and ignore it as its rubbish. Most scams originate from Nigeria and people there cannot even own a paypal account. Paypal NEVER tell you to send trackable, they advise it for seller protection etc but it is not compulsory. Paypal NEVER tell you to send an item before the payment is showing in your paypal account. Delete any emails and ignore the scammers. ... View more
