@kernowlass I'm not sure if I've been scammed. The address I shipped to is the address linked with the buyers ebay account. I received an email from paypal saying That I have a pending payment. During the email it says "You have just received funds from (buyer name- I have taken this out for this thread for protection). We need a proof of shipment, get the item posted and send us the shipment tracking number to unlock your funds. Thanks For Using PayPal." Then after a bit more information it says "NOTE:This PayPal® payment has been deducted from the buyer's account,but will not be credited to your account until the item is posted and shipment tracking number is sent to our customer's service for verification so as to secure both the seller and the buyer. We are sorry for the inconveniences we might have cost as this is our new policy to protect both the Seller and the Buyer. This transaction remains Pending until the item is shipped and verified." Therefore I marked the item as dispatched on eBay and provided eBay with a tracking number. I then received an email from the same email address saying " We have received the shipment reference number of the item bought from you on eBay. We have immediately passed it on to our payment review department for shipment verification. Just a reminder: Please allow 3-5 working days excluding weekends for the shipment verification(trace and track the item) We shall notify you once shipment is verified and delivered. Remember to leave positive feedback to the buyer to enhance fast completion of this transaction. Thank you for your patience and understanding as we work together to protect your account"
