Hi, I am a new seller and listed an item on to eBay. Someone requested the item, and of course I accepted it. They want me to buy a gift card and add it to the package in which I’m sending the item. (They included the amount of the gift card with the item they are buying from me). PayPal emailed me and said my funds are on hold. I need to buy the gift cards and send them proof, my funds will be released to me. As a newbie, i don’t know if I’m getting scammed? I know everything scam-related involves gift cards and high amounts of money. They also said if i don’t send the gift cards, legal court actions will be against me. I just want to know if I’m getting scammed? They used the email: <removed> Does PayPal hold funds? And if so can I even view them? The only proof of this person sending me money, is the email I got from PayPal stating that my funds are on hold. If someone can help me, ASAP. That would be great!! Thank you.
