I am trying to sell a bedroom set through kijiji and the buyer wants to pay through Paypal as well as organize shipment of the product. The start and end of my experience with Paypal is purchasing ebooks online. So "her" instructions are quite overwhelming. It appears to me she wants me to money gram $550.00 but before Paypal has released funds? Can anyone here make heads or tails of this (I haven't received a message from Paypal from her) Here is her message to me: On Mar 11, 2014, at 6:57 AM, (person's name and address removed) wrote: "I have just completed the payment and you must have been notified in your email about the payment i made Via PayPal,Kindly check your e-mail inbox/junk/spam folder for confirmation of payment, I transferred a total sum of $1,740.00 Inclusive of the Shipping charges. I added the amount of $640.00 paid Via PayPal, you will have to send $550.00 as an Upfront Payment to the Pick Up agent via Money Gram so they can make arrangements for the pick up date and exchange time Officially. NOTE: PayPal won't credit the funds until they receive the Money Gram information from you due to Transaction Safety Tips regarding excess payments made for the Pick Up/Shipping charges. I will need you to send the $550.00 to the Agency Headquarters where they confirm all commission payments via Money Gram Money Transfer, this can be done from any post office as they usually have Money Gram outlets there, the additional $90.00 was added to cover the Money Gram Transfer Sending Fee charged to send Money." I think the may be trying to scam me?
