I'm a bit paranoid here so bear with me. I sold my Bike Online and receive the money via Paypal but I notice there was no Shipping Address listed in the Payment description. Is this a normal thing? What are the chances of it being a scam? I'm assuming the Buyer Pays w/ the option "Send money to friends and family" instead of "Pay for goods or services"
Since I haven't ship the Bike yet I was wondering if it is possible that the buyer chargeback the payment / funds After I ship it?

Where (website) did you sell the bike? Refund the money and send an invoice to be on the safe side, that guarantees the buyer sends you a goods and services payment and gives a mailing address. If payment was a F&F payment, the buyer would have no protection under purchase protection but if it turns out they funded the payment with a credit card, they can win a chargeback if they fail to win under PP purchase protection.
Kudos & Solved are greatly appreciated. 🙂

The site is called PinkBike. The buyer sent me his contact info and mailing address via the Site's Private Massage. I received the funds and its currently in my Bank account, is it possible for Paypal withdraw it out of my Bank Account without my consent ?

I wouldn't withdraw it so soon. When money moves too fast out, it gets held. PayPal will go into your bank to reverse the transfer to hold it for review. Yeah, was there a fee deducted off the payment?
