Well that's a new one.
This wording (that you will not send to this buyer any package!) the exclamation point & spelling of "departament" is a give away.

Please to get me from the car my umbrella. Haste! Haste!

Yeah, it sounds like a professional email from PayPal, which probably has a team of lawyers check every email form before it's approved.

And. . . "below" is spelled "bellow." An obvious scam here.

There is a forum I found on the internet that is free, and helps with Ebay, PayPal, business and the law. Just post any question, the experts will answer it if it has not already been answered!

The forum has a lot of expert advice on it. http://www.modeeworld.com/forums I found advice there about how to avoid EBAY suspensions, get past PayPal limitations, also lots of detailed help on creating your own business, getting past trademark violations, VERO and lots more. Plus general advice on how best to sell on EBAY, what sells the best, how to get the best price for your product, really everything related to EBAY and internet business.

Also advice about how EBAY really works and how PayPal really works. The inside scoop.

Beautiful forum. I was made a moderator of the forum and I love it!

FLAG JoJo!

I seriously hope no one on the board bothers going to this site. JoJo, I see you have created a new Vendio logon. Why do I smell a scammer???

a Google search for modeeworld returned a sample of your work "How TO CREATE A NEW UNTRACEABLE EBAY + PAYPAL ACCOUNT". Gee, golly whiz, I would just love to buy or sell something to a low life such as you. Now go away!
