Hi I am contacting as I have just sold something (I think) as I listed an ad on village app for a pair of shoes which are Nike Adapt Auto Max Motherboard 11UK Brand New. I have checked my PayPal as I have sent a request as the buyer asked for the agreed amount of £500 (£440 plus £60 p&p) and I have received no notification of payment on the PayPal website or app and but did receive a email from ‘paypal’. I have been scammed before but never as a seller so I am contacting for advice to prevent anything going wrong. The ‘paypal’ email has stated that the money has been sent via escrow so I don’t receive the money until the buyer is happy with the item. I want to have the email verified by PayPal before I pay for postage or send the item. I already know to block the buyer from switching addresses as they could send it to one address and then say they never received it and then send it to another address so by advice from PayPal I will tell the shipping company to not allow the shipping address to change and to inform me if they change the address. The request I sent for £500 still states pending but I would like to check the email is authentic and check if it a scam as I have received fraud PayPal emails before. If you look at the email the font changes in the middle of sentences please verify so I can send item if legit. Please respond ASAP as the buyer wants the item shipped as soon as possible.
