It sounds like a scam (if it isn't an honest error). Anyone can send money to anyone using their PayPal, but you don't have to accept. 1. If the person is honestly trying to buy something, maybe they are trying to bypass online, send you the description "in their own words" and try to pay you to ship it. Don't ever sell buy or ship anything outside the system that protects you. So ignore these outside transactions and just email instructions to the Buyer to go to your website and buy there. You can send them the link and explain you only sell and accept payments and shipments through that website 2. If you sense this is a scam, report it to both the website and PayPal and all systems affected. They may recommend you BLOCK any spam or scam account that is doing this, but one by one specifically blocking only that address causing outside transactions. 3. DO NOT accept payments DO NOT click any links DO NOT download attachments from any such unidentified spam or scam accounts. This could be a hacking phishing email.
