Well the item is really not valuable at all (a broken graphics card that sold for ~£5). Looks like it's to be sent to a UK address. The Paypal email seemed legit: had the buyer's name in it and the correct amount of money that I invoiced the buyer for. It came from a paypal.co.uk email address. Here's the main body of the email: ------------------------------------------------------------------- ************** sent you £9.49 GBP Transaction ID: ************** Dear **************, Just thought you'd like to know ************** sent you £9.49 GBP. Reversal Please be aware that your payment can still be reversed, (e.g. if it is subject to a chargeback), even after you have sent the item to your buyer. Complying with PayPal's Seller Protection and following the trading guidelines given on our Security page helps to protect you from things like chargebacks. Once the money's there you can: Spend the money online at thousands of shops that accept PayPal. Transfer it to your bank account (takes 2-3 days). Transfer the money to a credit card. Don't see the money in your account? If you haven't confirmed your email address with us yet, you won't see the money in your account until you do. Confirm your email address now (You'll need your confirmation code: ) When that's done, the money will show up in your PayPal account and you'll be able to see the complete payment details. (It sometimes takes a few minutes.) Yours sincerely, PayPal
