albskee,
You'd receive a FAKE email supposedly from Paypal stating that payment was being held safely and would be released to you when a number was given for the parcel.
All a SCAM
"(buyer has a 29 feedback score 100% positive)"
This is a Nigerian Scammer who has hijacked another member's account.
Phone or email eBay and report the account as hijacked/stolen
