Did I get scammed?

Alright so I sold an S20 Ultra for 1k on ebay last week and waited until I got the money in my PayPal account and everything to ship it, which I did.  I required the signature as well.  As far as it looks my PayPal account does have the money but it's still on a hold from ebay.  I got an email this morning said the buyer was suspicious because they're no longer registered with ebay.  Is the money in my PayPal account going to disappear now or something? I'm just a touch confused as to what's going on.  I communicated with the buyer only through ebay and all the emails I received from eBay match the address and everything from the same emails I received while buying.  After I had the money viewable in my PayPal account I shipped it but now I got that email.  Any of you all know what's going on here?

This all depends on how the user payed.  If it is a scam they usually with stolen credit cards etc.

In theory you followed eBays guideline you should be alright,

yet an unauthorized use of a credit card or other may get a charge back..

Has the item been delivered yet??

Yeah it got delivered this morning and was signed for by a different name than was on the account and then an hour later I got that email. Assuming this is scam what are my next options here? Police report? Does eBay help out? Will PayPal help out? I thought I was good here.

Until some thing else happens you are covered. They may have received item and are happy.

Since you are a new seller there will be a hold on the money until released.

 

I am wondering that any one purchased from you if this is the ID you sold on.

Low feedback only from purchases :selling high priced items is a flag.

 

Yet the second item I sold when getting on eBay way back was really high dollar so who is to say. We all start some were.

 

You might try and list some lower priced items fo a bit and get a better feedback for selling before listing high priced items.

 

Hoping this go well with you.

 

Note this is a user to user system, not eBay employees.
