"she" wants your paypal addy so "she" can get your money... its very simple you send her your paypal addy in which she send you a fake payment on a fake paypal page where you sign in and bam they have your paypal addy and password and then they will get into your account empty it and shut it down .. if your broke you have nothing to worry about

Selling electronics on ebay, half the ---- I listed had to be relisted. I later added a big, red, bold message stating they are wasting their time and to move onto another auction because I will report it and get their accounts locked. Cut down drastically on the fakes but I still had one every now and then or the "my [insert family member] bid on this and I don't want it" message.
