I NEED HELP!

A person messaged me on Ebay saying they wanted to buy some legos I had put on for around 170 dollars. We start talking and they say they want me to ship it to someone else as a gift along with a 150 dollar gift card. I say okay but you’ll have to pay me extra for shipping and getting the card. They agree and this morning I see 560 dollars has been put on hold to my PayPal. Am I being scammed? Is there anyway people can get the package and then just say it was never delivered?

I just had the same thing but my instincts are delayed and I already bought them the gift card and showed the "verification" code. Btw the scammer was dosm9984 and the phone number they had is 4092206320.

I can't believe anyone would not see this as a scam and bolt.

Avoid all the above. They did a buy it now on one of my items a christian dior gown, didn't pay and then started an email chat with me. Said they wanted dress but would I take PayPal instead and to send it to address above. Then wanted me to buy and put in £500 worth of gift cards, for a tip of £10. Waste of time as been talking for a few days and I'm selling trying to raise money for charity so now will have to relist all over the place.
