@NiGhT2k

If it was marked as an invoice then its probably a scam doing the rounds as its been sent by a buyer and altered to look as though he has paid you.

Signs its a scam are >>>

its an invoice BUT sellers send invoices not buyers

marked as paid

marked as gift

says payment won't show in your balance for eg 24 hours

can't be chargedback.


Paypal NEVER tell you to send anything until the funds are showing in your paypal account balance.

Paypal payments are more or less instant.

Paypal will never tell you that a payment can't be subject to a chargeback if thats what scammers are still putting on invoices.

no here is what it says at the bottom 

Terms and conditions

This is a payment to your account and not a bill from your account, invoices work as bills and payments.

The transaction above is a PayPal gift. The amount stated can take up to 24 hours to reflect in your PayPal balance. This gift is non-refundable and the vender will be unable to dispute this transaction.

@NiGhT2k

SELLERS SEND INVOICES NOT BUYERS...............PAYMENTS TO YOUR PAYPAL ACCOUNT ARE MORE OR LESS INSTANT.

THIS IS A SCAM.

@NiGhT2k

Yes your scammer has marked it as that but it is not true.

Payments DO NOT take 24 hours to show up.

Payments marked as gift CAN be charged back.

Buyers DO NOT send invoices.

You have been scammed, how many times do you need to be told.
