It's a scam, don't send anything.

Telltale signs:
1 - poor grammar and /or spelling
2 - a contact email address that is not related to paypal
3 - an instruction to send goods before you have received a payment in your Paypal account

Scam, never trust anything unless it also shows in your paypal account.

Only a cretinous inbred moron would write like this. You could email 'paypal' back and tell them to FVCK OFF. That would raise some eyebrows if it was real. Which it isn't.

I thought with Paypal you alway had to pay BEFORE the item is shipped. It is best to check on your Paypal account for anything like this, DO NOT CLICK THE EMAIL, just go straight to your account and you will see nothing has been paid. You will not get the money.

And I bet ytou are asked to send the phone to Nigeria!!! Report the buyer to ebay!!!
Keep your phone and relist but put a block on bidders in your preferance.

You receive paypal payments instantly (unless e-cheque).
No waiting, no tracking number required.

Please don't send the phone - it's a scam.
