It may be a better idea to post this on eBay but it's still relevant to PayPal I sold my iPad on eBay to a guy with no feedback but they've had the account since December 18th 2013. I got an e-mail off eBay titled "Assurance message for your sales on eBay Item: Apple iPad Mini 16GB Wi-Fi Cellular White ". Immediately I noticed grammatical errors and inconsistencies and it reads informally. Basically its saying the funds have been deducted from their PayPal account and will be paid into mine when I send it or provide a shipment barcode. I've sold items via eBay before (granted, none as valuable as an iPad) but PayPal have only emailed me to say I've recieved payment so I'm a bit uneasy about this. It also says "We would advise you to proceed with the transaction and ship the item, the buyer is a trust worthy person and it has been confirmed by us" which doesn't sound like something an official email would say. Am I being scammed?
