Just wondering if anyone knows if fake PayPal payment receipts can be made up online?
I recently started a sale/trade a few weeks ago and the buyer from here sent me a PayPal receipt to say he paid, I trusted him as he had a positive feedback score of 4. I sent the cards before it cleared and still haven't received any payment, is it possible that this is a fake receipt?
I've tried to contact the buyer but every time I see him online and send a message he logs off and goes incognito, I've messaged admin to see what can be done and I understand that I made the error of sending the cards before the payment cleared, I've been doing this for a very long time so I guess complacency and trust was my downfall.
If nothing comes from this that's ok but sellers beware and make sure any payment clears before sending cards, even if you receive a screenshot of payment being made.
