Fake Paypal?

Can you have a transaction number checked at Paypal? I have the following problem: I have sold a laptop on Ebay and someone who has sent the package to Malaysia has reported it. He told me that he sent the money via Paypal. At the same time I got an email from 'Paypal': service@intl.paypal.com where it said that the amount from the gentleman had arrived at Paypal and I should send the package and send the shipment number from the Paypal package afterwards would I get my money… Does it always go down like this?

But sounds damn Nigeria bidders. Search in the ebay help forums afterwards, there everything is full of it. What should one do in Malaysia please with a German-speaking laptop? Is not there any?

When a Paypal payment has been received, it is in your Paypal account, and nowhere else. You can check it, log in and check it out. In addition, you lose the seller protection, if you send with a non-Paypal approved shipper and to another than the deposited address.

99.9% known fraud. Laptops, iPhone and similar in connection with Paypal attract such birds on ebay as honey the wasps.
