Oh I forgot to mention when I click reply in the email it says it's emailing to [email protected]

Does it sound legit? Me myself thinks it's a bit shady. But it could be normal. I havnt sold anything with paypal for a few years

If it was real what would it say?

I did receive an email like that the other day. But the man wanted my bank account to deposit some big load of money. Not from Nigeria, though.

And PayPal emails are well constructed, without errors. This reply address makes it worse.
