Am I Getting Scammed?

[science]

Am I trying to get scammed here?

Is this normal? Wtf is going on here. I didn't block out the shipping address because it looks so fake to me. There isn't even a state listed on it.

apparently, you should forward it to [email protected]

Yeah, I think I'm gonna do that


edit: Just did

It sounds like the latest Ebay policy where they hold funds for upto 21 days or good feedback is left from the buyer.

If the message is in your ebay messages then it's legit. (Log into Paypal and see what the status of the payment is)

And yes their policy sucks.

If you are a new seller, then they hold your funds until the buyer leaves positive feedback. Thing is, the person who bought it from you put a fake address on his Paypal account (Idk why?) so you are in a weird situation. Contact the buyer and tell him to update his Paypal address to be correct and tell him to confirm it. If he gives you his "real" address without updating it and getting it confirmed, do not ship the item. If you do not ship to a confirmed address, you are not covered by Paypal's seller protection. Meaning he can open a dispute and have the charges reversed, him ending up with the item and the cash.

This is my second sale, and my first one was when I had 0 feedback, so this is weird.

u should blank out ur id better, i can still tell what it is. (to sum degree)

That's most likely cause this one is over 100$. Was the first one less than this one?

Yeah, it was under $100. I'm going to await an email from PayPal

Searching on eBay has had me found that this looks legit. But the guy's address... what the heck.

Wow crazy. I will await his email, he didn't have a zip

 

[NeSchn]

No its real. I got that on my second order too. They made me ship it out and once the person either got it or left positive feedback you get the moolah.

That's strange... In my first eBay transaction I sold a $280 GPS unit and PayPal didn't hold my money from me.

Maybe because DSs are more likely to be scam auctions then GPS auctions or something... eBay is ridiculous sometimes

-------------------------
What is a phishing email?
-------------------------
Phishing emails attempt to steal your identity and will often ask you to
reveal your password or other personal or financial information. PayPal
will never ask for your password over the phone or in an email and will
always address you by your first and last name.

Take our Fight Phishing Challenge at
https://www.paypal.com/fightphishing to learn # things you should know
about phishing. You'll also see what we're doing to help fight fraud
every day.

You've made a difference.
-------------------------
Every email counts. By forwarding a suspicious-looking email to
[email protected], you've helped keep yourself and others safe from
identity theft.

Thanks,

The PayPal Team
