That scam in various configurations has been going on for some time. It involves buying and purchasing all sorts of items big and small. The constant is request to use paypal, and shipping/recieving the item is always by somebody other than the contact in the add, or the person who contacted you for your add. They change the names, address, phone, email ect. Paypal has the option to revoke payment, therefore they can take possession of your goods or your money via paypal, and can do so overseas and annonymously.
Some east indian fellow tried it on me with a truck I had for sale about a year and a half ago.
