Advertised some headphones on FB marketplace.

Guy messaged me asking if i'd post them.

Sent him my paypal link

He's paid me but it's pending

I Filled in the tracking info

Marked them as sold and now our inbox messages have disappeared.

In 10+ years of being on paypal never once had a payment pending. (£90)

Could he say he's not recieved them, release the money back to himself and i'm out of pcoket?

go onto facebook marketplace, the messages are probably still there. I had this recently with buying something and it vanished from my messenger inbox when they marked it sold but was still there in marketplace.

Same thing happened to my messages recently. Sale went through fine.

Of course that just means I was dealing with a normal honest individual - you may not be so lucky, but disappearing messages are no indicator.

Have you looked into PayPal to see if you need to accept the money?
I had this last month for first time ever, and it was a refund...

You can easily test this, I'll give you my PayPal details and you could send me £90. I'll let you know if I get it.

I'll put it in my retirement pot.

Yeah the disappearing messages is normal: go to Marketplace -> Your Listings then click the headphones and it will list the people and their messages there. They get 'archived' on sale and disappear from the normal messenger UI.
