Calling any Paypal experts!!

[zephyrcat]

I sold dp's mobile on ebay today, and the winner has asked me to send it directly to her Son in Africa. I've had an email from Paypal (I hope!) saying that she has paid the money and it has been verified but they will not relelase the money to my paypal account until I provide them with a tracking number for 'international signed for' from the post office. Does that sound right??

I'm also wondering if you can withdraw paypal funds to your credit card or does it have to be a bank account?

And I have replied. Definately a scammer. The only things I would post abroad really are clothes. There are a lot of these types of scams going around currently.

at all the phones she's bid on/won!!

I'm going to email ebay and paypal and see what they say... I'm half tempted to contact the other sellers she's won them from!

Contact them, see if they have had the same thing.

I'm just sending a little note to all the ones she has won to say I think it might be a fake email and they can contact me if they want to.... Can't believe that someone can pull off such a scam!!!!!

Thank you all for your quick help - that was a close one!!!

Well, I have to go to bed now, I hope you let us know what happens. x
