Apologies if this is the wrong section to post this but none seemed particularly relevant but a potential ebay scam seems it might belong in current affairs.

So, today I bought an item on ebay, I paid via my debit card and chose the delivery option of click and collect from my local Argos store.

The seller has demanded I verify my PayPal address despite me not using PayPal,
when I pointed this out they said they had received no delivery information so I submitted the relevant details from my ebay order and confirmation email.
This seller has now said they have had some unexplained activity on their PayPal account and will not dispatch the item unless I confirm PayPal details that I didn't use to make the purchase.

Seems like they are trying to scam me, I'd be interested in others thoughts.
