Looks like an eBay scam to me. I called the number they gave in a PayPal message, and a person picked up telling me I had to pay a delivery charge before they’d release any money into my PayPal. Thing is, we never talked about any delivery before, it was always supposed to be cash on collection. Definitely a dodgy situation, watch out for emails and calls from that number!

It was the same story as the rest. Someone wanted to buy my stuff on eBay, said there'd be no problem paying full price. Then suddenly they asked me for a £1000 shipping fee upfront, then sent an email claiming I wouldn't get the money in my PayPal account right away. I rang PayPal to check because it sounded dodgy, and yep, turned out to be a scam. I quickly blocked the email addresses and the eBay user as well.

I just got an email from someone claiming they want to buy my car, but I haven’t rung them back yet. They say they’ll pay the full price straight away, no messing about with offers. The weird thing is, they won’t give me a phone number to speak to them directly. Now they’re asking me to send a thousand pounds to this 08008321717 number, which seems really fishy.

I reckon it’s actually PayPal UK, to be honest.

Received a call on a Sunday afternoon-who does that? It’s utterly inconsiderate of my personal space and downtime.

Someone claiming to be a buyer gave me this number to confirm a payment through Paypal. Turns out, it has nothing to do with Paypal at all.

Somebody tried to get me to pay shipping charges for my car sale, but no way am I falling for that!

I was selling my car on eBay and this person claiming to be from PayPal asked for a fee to be sent through Western Union. They refused to chat on the phone and just accepted my price without any negotiation. Total scam, what idiots!

I was trying to sell my car and the buyer insisted on emailing me directly rather than dealing through eBay. Now I've got this dodgy email linked to the number 08008321717. Feels like a scam to get me to send money I don't need to. Stay careful out there!

I got a call from this number about verifying a PayPal transaction, so I looked into it myself first. When I checked my PayPal account, there was no sign of any email or receipt confirming that money had been sent. Definitely seems like a scam to me.

I had a very similar thing happen to me. I was trying to sell a bike on eBay when someone suddenly asked to switch our chat from eBay messages to email. They said they’d sort a courier and would pay the full price without any bargaining. Got a dodgy email that ended up in my junk folder asking for more details. I figured straight away it was dodgy, so I questioned them and they started threatening legal action straight away. I then requested his phone number and, unsurprisingly, no reply. Be careful out there, people!

Got a message from someone on EBay wanting to snap up my motorbike for a good few grand. They said they’d paid already, but then I got an dodgy email pretending to be from PayPal asking me to pay some fees for the courier before any money would be sent through. No offer to come check the bike or any extra questions either. When I called them out, they started threatening to take me to court - total scam, no doubt about it.

This number claims to be PayPal but it’s definitely not legit. Watch out, it's a total scammer’s line.
