Hi
Just need some advice. This weekend I sold my PS4 through Ebay. My ebay/paypal accounts are quite old (2004) but I very rarely use them. 17 Transactions since registering on Ebay and only once before did I sell something, the rest were my purchases.
Paypal seems to have updated since I last used it. The buyer (with no previous Ebay history) insisted that I create an invoice through my paypal account to request the payment which the buyer would then recieve through email. I recieved an email from paypal informing me that the payment had been made to my paypal account, followed by a request for me to send the package within the next 24 hours. The invoice that I sent originally wasn't answered, the buyer seems to have created a new invoice because they wanted to upgrade the postage option. When I log into my Paypal account the money hasn't been payed and the invoice status is still pending.
At the bottom of the messege it says reply with the tracking code for the parcel, basically advising me to send the parcel out before the payment is in my bank. I am pretty sure this is a scam because it doesnt sound right. Is this a big issue with Ebay? I must admit that I am not very familiar with ebay or paypal.
Appreciate any information from someone that uses Ebay often.
Thanks
