I recently sold an iPhone on eBay and the person who won the auction has said that he paid for the phone straight after he won but I never accepted the money. The buyer seems legitimate as he has been a member of eBay since 2007 and has received plenty of good reviews from reputable sellers.   So, I checked my eBay account to the sold tab and the iPhone is under the awaiting payment tab as well as the pending funds tab. Does this mean the buyer has paid? I'm just confused as to how the phone could be both under the awaiting payment and pending funds tab at the same time. It also says that my funds will be available by next month under the sold tab so I assumed it was paid but I went to the print shipping label page eBay says the buyer hasn't paid. I'm getting two different messages from eBay saying the buyer has and hasn't paid.   What should I do? Is the buyer a scammer? ... View more

Thank you for the reply. The email wasn't in junk though but rather in my inbox so I thought it was legitimate. The email I received was from <removed>. Should the email address actually be <removed> since I am in Australia? (I'm writing at(@) instead of @ for the emails since I'm not allowed to for some reason...) Also, if I was sent payment from a legitimate buyer the bill should be completed without me having to do anything right? Lastly, I was quite suspicious because eBay stated that the person was located in Pineville, Kentucky but they wanted me to send the item to Houston, Texas to the location of a shipping service to Nigeria (shoptomydoor.com) and the address had the name Ojetunde <removed> even though the PayPal account's name was under Roseline <removed>.   The email I received is down below. If you can help me further and provide any more advice, please do so.   Please process this order as soon as possible Dear Baza97, You received a payment of $1,025.00 AUD from Roseline <removed>.
