Okay. I just recently made a Mercari account and I was looking to buy an Iphone 7 plus from a seller. Well, I go to message them about it and it seems legitimate. I try and buy it and it says, "post unavailable". Why is this? Well, I start messaging the seller via text. Everything is going well, and he says he has a business account on paypal. I say, "okay that sounds good". He sends me his paypal link. I go through the steps and start thinking is this really legit? He wants me to send $320 us dollars to his account, and says he will send the phone today and I'll get it within two days. As good as this sounds, I think its a scam. I've always used paypal through companies, but not like this. What happens if I send it and dont receive my phone? Will the seller be contacted by paypal? Will I get my money back? I need help like RIGHT NOW! What do I do? This persons paypal link is <removed>. His name is Christian <removed>, but his name on mercari was "jonathan". Sounds suspicious doesnt it?
