Default Paypal Scam

I was selling my stock 18 on ebay a women purchased them through paypal
I told the women that when the money was posted in my bank account
that I would ship them to here. Well you know if you have paypal it take several days to have it in your account but the women wanted to have it shipped same day well we looked at here further and it was as scam to get them for free with putting any money up so be careful out there here is her name and email and paypal

I don't ship overseas at all. It's too easy to get burned that way.

A lot of scammers out there I've had people try and scam me via ebay before. Definitely never ship before you have payment and it's cleared. Also gotta watch for scams involving phony ebay/paypal emails.

Most PP transactions are instantaneous...Only a couple instances require any sort of wait time (one of which being an "eCheck").

Glad you figured it out first, Mel. Woulda been ugly, otherwise.

I've been using my PP debit card a lot this xmas season, which is unusual. Due to that fact, they shut down the card after I bought an iPhone, accessories, and other xmas gifts. Got an email, called them, they asked about these purchases and I confirmed...then all was well. It's nice that someone was actually looking out!
