Hello, I am trying to sell a jacket (not on eBay). When I ask people how they are going to pay me, they say they will use goods and services. When I ask them if PayPal directly notifies me that there is a payment on hold, they say PayPal only send them an email, and that they will then forward it to me. My question is, if the email I received (as a seller) is just a forwarded email that the buyer receives from PayPal, then couldn’t it be easily replicated and masked as a real email? How would I know that it is legit? Also, because that is the only piece of evidence that the seller (myself) has and no direct proof from PayPal, how can I ever be sure that they have really carried out a goods and services payment to me? Any help would be very well appreciated!
