Hi 12Wi. 

 

Thank you for contacting the PayPal Community forum. 

 

This is not a PayPal email. Although the email address provided looks legitimate, we do not word our emails like this and even if we place the funds you received on hold you would still be able to view them in your PayPal account. Please do not proceed with shipping this item or provide shipping fees.
