Dodgy buyer/paypal safety??

    Hi All,
    Selling a phone at the moment on donedeal and looking for roughly 250 for it. Have had two texts and subsequent communication from what seems to be two english email addresses telling me they'd take it.
    One is offering full amount, wants to pay through paypal, the other is offering 310 plus 70 postage and again will pay through paypal. Now I've no hope of sending it by post until payment is received, but this just seems to good to be true.
    Any scams out there that I'm not aware of?? If money is lodged in my account is there anyway it can be removed again?

    Thanks

    They can claim that the item wasn't received and seek a refund from Paypal. Make sure that you send it registered post.

    Check your paypal account to see that the money has gone throught rather than relaying on the email from paypal. I have heard that scammers can send fake email saying that you have paypal funds.
