Oh I forgot to mention when I click reply in the email it says it's emailing to [email protected]

Does it sound legit? Me myself thinks it's a bit shady. But it could be normal. I havnt sold anything with paypal for a few years

If it was real what would it say?
 
Its a fake mail.
Where were you trying to sell?

No offence, but these are probably Nigerian scammers -.-


Same story every wherre.
("Hi, I am in a business trip to Nigeria and would like you to post the parcel there and I will pay you $100 posting cost, etc etc.)
 
No. If it requires you to send the item, before you get the payment it is always fake.

I did receive an email like that the other day. But the man wanted my bank account to deposit some big load of money. Not from Nigeria, though.

And PayPal emails are well constructed, without errors. This reply address makes it worse.
