Ive removed personal infoIs this email a fraud?
Thats not from Paypal, its a fake email. Forward ASAP to spoof@paypal.com and ignore all future emails from this buyer. It's a scam

There is no payment, paypal never asks for a shipment tracking number and would not use a (memberprocessdetail@post.com) address - if it's not @paypal.com then you know it can't be from Paypal

Never ship to Nigeria for any reason. If you don't know the person buying it it's going to be a scamIs this email a fraud?
Yes, it's a fake email. You can prove it by manually launching your browser, entering "www.paypal.com" and looking for the payment there. It will not be there. (Don't click on any links in the email.)Is this email a fraud?
Yes because paypal never says "ebay item" it's one of those Nigerian scams man. Just disregard that email please.
