Shipping to Russia

[kragujevac]

Hello!
I arranged a transaction with a buyer from Russia. She told me that after I have received money from her, a PayPal shipping agent would come to my home address to pick up the item. I wanted to have some further information on how everything works with the shipping company and delivery to Russia. DHL representative for my country (Serbia) told me that, due to the Russian law, they are not able to deliver packages to natural persons in Russia.

I EXPECT ITS THIS SCAM, READ IT AND SEE.

They encourage you to accept a 'direct' Paypal payment and may ask you to send the item internationally.
No funds or activity of the transaction shows in your Paypal account and any emails 'may' go into your junk or spam folders.

They don't quibble on cost and may also say they can't view the item as they are disabled or working abroad etc etc but they will arrange a shipping agent to collect it.

You will get/got a "fake" email that looks as though it is from paypal.....it isn't because they don't actually have a Paypal account and have no intention of paying you.
It will say the buyer has paid ...you won't have been paid.
The 'fake' paypal email will tell you that the buyer has paid for the item + shipping costs but you must send those shipping costs to the courier/ shipping agent via western union, moneygram or walmart etc BEFORE the funds are released to you.
They are not interested in the item, they just want the western union etc funds and you will never see money in your paypal balance.

Paypal NEVER tell you to send an item before the payment is showing in your paypal account.
Paypal NEVER expect you to use a rival money transfer service eg Moneygram or Western Union etc.
Also their is no seller protection on paypal for any item that is collected by the buyer.
Delete any emails and ignore the scammers.

someone once said shipping to Russia and throwing the item in trash can achieves the same result.
