Paypal Help Please, by scoote on Jul 21, 2008 15:48:56 GMT 1, I am hoping that the good people of this forum and their good knowledge on Paypal may be able to help me with this (maybe) straight forward query?
Is it usual to send the goods out to someone who bought on ebay, before I have received payment through my paypal account ? I have just sold my old iPhone and have had a couple of emails saying that I must send the goods, then provide a tracking number from the post office before payment will be released to me.
This seems a bit unusual as I have used paypal through ebay before and never had to do this. It seems that I have no guarantee that payment has been made from the buyer. What's to stop him receiving the goods and then doing a bunk ?

yep. only post to a confirmed address or paypal will refund the money even if it has been delivered and you can prove it. they always side with the buyer and its a scammers wet dream.

Paypal Help Please, by dbnetherleigh on Jul 21, 2008 16:13:06 GMT 1, This is definately a scam - had the same set of 'official' messages sent to me once when selling a mobile phone - sent them on to both ebay and paypal and they confirmed they were not from them. Cancel the bidder and relist is my advice........

Paypal Help Please, by scoote on Jul 21, 2008 16:20:46 GMT 1, Cheers for you help so far everyone, if this is a scam it's a bloody good one. These are the paypal and ebay addresses that the message seems to come from anyone seen this before ? They both have the proper headers and footers e.t.c.
service@paypal.com - paypalshipmentnotifies@emailaccount.com
service@eBay.com - ebayshipmentnotifies@emailaccount.com
I forgot to mention that once the item was initially bought it then got cancelled through ebay, and I received the following 'dodgy' looking emails :-
Dear eBayer,
This email is to inform you that our recent notification sent to you from eBay was a technical error.We are sorry for any mix up we might have caused both you and the buyer.We realized that the bid initiated from buyer was from the true owner and the buyer's account has now been restored back.
If this person was the winning bidder for the transaction then the transaction in question should be reconsidered and completed. You must end the auction if the item has been re-listed.We therefore urge you to go and ship the item or take the necessary step if the buyer has paid for the item.
Thank you for being an asset to the eBay trading community.We wish you continue success with your transactions on eBay.
Regards,
Then this :-
Dear eBayer,
We are contacting you about the item you sold on eBay.
The buyer,rdbeard86 has made the payment for your item and the item is yet to be post to the given address.We will like to know if you have posted the item so that your account can be credited immediately you send the tracking number to us.Note that you have committed yourself that you are going to send the item out.
Please respond by July-22-2008 so eBay knows whether you have agreed.
Respond to this notice or your account will be blocked.
Please note: You and the buyer will still be able to leave feedback for each other regarding this transaction.
Thank you for your patience and cooperation in this matter. Please don't hesitate to contact us directly through this email if you have further queries or require assistance.
Regards,
Customer Support (Trust and Safety Department)

And then six minutes later (from paypal) !:-
Dear Seller,
You ought to have shipped the item to the given address by now.You can now forward the shipment reference number (Tracking Number) to us for verification so that we can transfer the money into your account .We hope to hear from you soon.
Regards,
