Yes, I just had this happen to me as well. I posted an ad on craigslist for a watch I am selling and got an email back saying this guy was gonna pay me the $350 i was asking for plus $100 for shipping. He didnt say he was gonna pay by money order/cashiers check. He said he would pay me through paypal. I figured it was okay because it was paypal. So I sent him an invoice through paypal and he emailed me back saying he just made the payment. I received two emails saying they were from paypal that the payment was received and that the funds won't be deposited into my account until i ship the item and email paypal the tracking number. I never used paypal before so I wasn't sure about the policies. The thing this guy I guess forgot that I mentioned was that I have the watch in pawn and that I would need his money to go get it out of pawn. So naturally I called paypal and they said they didnt send me those emails and they will NEVER ask for a tracking number before you get your payment in your account. I emailed the guy back and told him I caught him in his little scheme. Needless to say, I havent heard back from him since.....
