How do I know that money sent to my paypal is real?

100% scam.

There is no buyer. This type of scammer will sell lots of items on ebay to get that high positive feedback then start scamming. He will pretend to sell expensive items, collect money and never ship those big expensive items. He will also try to convince sellers to close deals outside of ebay so that the seller has NO protection with paypal. You send the item outside of ebay and your possession is gone forever with NO way for you to EVER be paid via paypal.

The next email will be from another of the scammer's fake names and free email addresses pretending to be "Paypal" saying "kindly send the tracking number and we will release the funds".

Paypal does NOT send such emails, ever. Paypal does NOT have escrow or money holding services like that scammer describes. Paypal does NOT demand you send a tracking number before money is sent. EVER. No exceptions.

Now that you have responded to a scammer, you are on his 'potential sucker' list, he will try again to separate you from your cash. He will send you more emails from his other free email addresses using another of his fake names with all kinds of stories of being the perfect buyer, great jobs, lottery winnings, millions in the bank and desperate, lonely, sexy singles. He will sell your email address to all his scamming buddies who will also send you dozens of fake emails all with the exact same goal, you sending them your cash via Western Union or moneygram.

You could post up the email address and the emails themselves that the scammer is using, it will help make your post more googlable for other suspicious potential victims to find when looking for information.

Do you know how to check the header of a received email? If not, you could google for information. Being able to read the header to determine the geographic location an email originated from will help you weed out the most obvious scams and scammers. Then delete and block that scammer. Don't bother to tell him that you know he is a scammer, it isn't worth your effort. He has one job in life, convincing victims to send him their hard-earned cash.

Whenever suspicious or just plain curious, google everything, website addresses, names used, companies mentioned, phone numbers given, all email addresses, even sentences from the emails as you might be unpleasantly surprised at what you find already posted online. You can also post/ask here and every scam-warner-anti-fraud-busting site you can find before taking a chance and losing money to a scammer.

If you google "cragislist buyer scam", "fake paypal email scam", "ebay escrow fraud" or something similar you will find hundreds of posts from victims and near victims of this type of scam.

Check out the one and only official paypal website, read up on what paypal does and how it really works.

You have NO protection if you do an offsite transaction like this. Your Ebay and Paypal accounts will both be closed if you were to get scammed and report it as you breached their terms by attemtping to avoid the fees.

If he wanted to scam you, he could send you the money then ask you to ship to an unverified address. After you ship the item he can file a dispute with Paypal claiming his account was hacked and someone accessed it. If you don't have proof you mailed the item to his verified address, Paypal will side with him and you lost your item and won't get your money back

You can trust paypal, that's what its there for. Basically, you send him an invoice through paypal, he pays you, you transfer the money from paypal to your bank...THEN you send him the item. You will have to pay fees to use paypal so they will take a cut of the sale price, but you won't be scammed.

(make sure you are actually visiting paypal's website though by typing www.paypal.com into a web browser, don't access paypal by cliking on a link in an email from him, or anyone else for that matter)

Any money sent through PayPal is real. You should wait until the money is in your account and then transfer it to your checking/savings account. Once you have the money...then ship the item.
