We had an eBay item close on Saturday. I sent the buyer (who appears to have good feedback) an email to verfify his shipping and email details as is my practice at the close of every auction. I have not yet gotten a response of any kind to that email but today on our "My eBay" page the item shows as the payment having been made, but with the hourglass sign that signifies the payment is pending. I click on the "Payment Details" link and get redirected to what looks to be a PayPal page, but, the page want's me to "sign up for PayPal" in order to collect my funds. This of course sets off alarm bells since I already have a verified PayPal account and the supposed payment does not show up in my account when I log in directly to PayPal.
Here is the page in question: https://www.paypal.com/sold/id=0WR15252HP7854116
The weird thing is that this is showing up on my eBay page as a paid item. So if it is a scam then this person has really figured out how to get deep into eBay!
