I sold an item on Ebay for £316 + £212 tracked post/packing to a buyer in Australia & was paid by Paypal. The buyers paypal account in 'Un verified' & the payment states that I am not covered by Paypal seller protection policy. I asked the buyer to use some other method of payment to cover myself. Over 10 days later the buyer claims that his account is now verified tho I have no proof of this and has sent a further payment of another £528 and again the payment says unverified & paypal seller protection is not available. This smacks of a scam somewhere.... I've now got over a grand from this person & I have spoken to Paypal for advice, They think its dodgy but in true Paypal fashion say.... its up to you what you do....If I refund the buyer both payments & tell him to forget the deal then somewhere down the line it comes to light that his original payments were false & Paypal reclaim them from my account then that leaves me over a £1000 out of pocket.... is this the scam????
