Sounds like a scam to me
curreeki,
Yes, 100% SCAM.
You'll receive a FAKE email from Paypal / Nochex etc stating that payment has been made including 'extra' for the 'agent/ shipping agent'.
Then you'll be told that the money can't be accessed and could you please pay the agent's fee yourself through Western Union.
You'll be told that the money will be released to you when you've done this.
It's all a SCAM.
If you've been replying to these emails, as a precaution run all your spyware, keylogging and virus protection and change your passwords ( something which should be done on a regular basis anyway).
Here's a similar thread where it's been explained to the OP of the thread that's it's all a SCAM and all the emails he's received are FAKE:
