someone bought a watch from me from nigeria......and i got a email saying that i have to give paypal the tracking number....is this true or not......and can people from nigeria even have paypal
Yes, anyone with Internet access and a bank account can have paypal, actually paypal can be used as a bank account. I would get concerned if the person wanted your bank information, not tracking #. There is really nothing they can do with that except track the package. They just wanna keep tabs on it. I don't think it's gonna be an issue.
You can give your bank details for receiving your payment. Alternativel you can raise your demand through Paypal. There is a provision for that in Paypal...! PayPal is one of the most popular online money transfer systems widely used for online auctions, pay to surf programs, e-books and purchase of low value goods. It is now a part of the online auction website eBay. More details available at

internet + Nigeria = Scam.
If it is from Nigeria it is a scam. It may look official, but it is not.

No, I always send that information directly to their email address they use for ebay, otherwise they are SOL!
