so i was wondering what people would think of this..
my sister was selling a dining table and chiars for our mum, she advertised this on gumtree.
she received an email by and interested buyer and the buyer wanted to pay via pay pal. she said she wanted to get a courier to pick up the table and chairs as she was "offshore"
i agreed and sent over my paypal info
she then sent an email stating she had transferred 900 pound to the account, it stated that the funds would get to my account until i had personally paid the courier 400 and shown proof, this to me seemed strange as i would be paying this from my own pocket before receiving anything.
After i emailed back to say i wasnt going to do this she said that she would be making a complaint to paypal about this, which obviously doesn't concern me because i haven't received any funds anyway!
I just really wanted to see what everyone else thought about this situation.
thankyou
