Someone has bought an item from me for £250, he has made payment and i have an email saying a payment has been made in to my paypal account. I cant see the payment when i log in, at the bottom of the email i received from Paypal confirming the payment, it says that i need to send paypal a reference to them via email when i have posted the item and the money will be credited in to my account???. This sound very dodgy umm, thing is i am not prepared to post the item out without payment.

You should defo not send anything until you have the payment confirmed. You are right to be suspicious. You can telephone Paypal if you need quick confirmation if a payment has been made, they will also be able to tell you if it's fake.
dont click on any links in the email. If you have log directly into paypal again, by typing the address into the address bar www.paypal.com ( or click this link if you trust me) and change your password.
Then either ignore it or report the bidder to ebay.

He was, but has now travelled to bombay in the new 182 clio i ripped someone off for!
Thats all you can really do. Have you changed your password in both paypal and ebay?
Yea blatant scam as others have already said dont send anything or forward any details by responding to spoof e-mail.
You can check through paypal about fake e-mails.
Ebay should ban scammer too if you complain.
Hope you get it sorted & dont loose out

I hate these w*nkers. I've written plenty of great emails to them in the past, proper good stuff - I even write better emails once i've had a few drinks too, those ones are pure class (i've not had a drink tonight, shame really as i'd write a fantastic email for you to send to him)
Well ive received an email from Ebay and from paypal today. Ebay have informed me that the persons account has been hijacked and they have been buying things with there account, paypal have cofirmed that the email which was sent is not from them !. I allready changed my password etc etc anyway as i knew it was dodgy, who would pay £250 for a phone which is used lol !!!!
Same thing happened to me, realised straight away and told ebay bout it. Bloody scammers. Not only that wasted a week of me selling. Better luck next time , just remember to write at the bottom summit similar to
Will not sell to sisters aunties brother in nigeria , lol they left me alone then!
