beware of this scam -especially if your new to ebay as it looks legit,
last week i auctioned a phone ,when it was finished i noticed the highest bidder had zero feedback so i emailed them straight away as i had put in the auction no zero feedbacks and payment must be made 1 hour after auction ends (i always do this and it works)with paypal,i recieved an email from paypal saying the transaction was waiting clearance,10 mins later i recieved another saying payment will be cleared once i send the postage tracking number for the item,both emails looked like they came from paypal but i had never known paypal transactions to be done this way,so i contacted paypal and yes it was a scam.PLEASE BE CAREFUL AS THE EMAILS LOOKED LIKE THEY CAME FROM PAYPAL .REMEMBER TO LOG INTO PAYPAL THROUGH EBAY OR PAYPAL.COM AND CHECK TRANSACTIONS BEFORE SENDING ANYTHING.
