I'm now a little leary of selling things on Craigslist
So I put my wedding and engagement ring on craigslist and like 2 days later I had a buyer. The guy claimed he was from Toledo, but he was serving in the military overseas and his gf lived in Illinois and he wanted to ship it to her and he wanted to pay with paypal. I figured no big deal, why not help someone in the military out. NOPE huge scam. I had gotten an email from paypal saying that the money had been approved and would be in my account as soon as they recieved the tracking number. So Friday I went to ship out the package and went to send the tracking number when the email wouldn't go through, I called paypal only to find out that the email wasn't sent from them and it was a scam. I called FedEx right away and asked them to cancel the package and I would be in after work to pick it up. Thankfully I found out right away. I almost lost my rings and would of been out a TON of money. It makes me not want to sell anything on there anymore. I should of known something was up when I got the shipping address and it wasn't going to Illinois anymore, but stupid me was like I need the money so bad to pay off this debt that J is leaving me with. I think I may put them back out there again, but this time I'm putting cash only. I usually do and of course the 1 time I don't this happens.

"Cheese!"
My sister had the same thing happen to her last year. Luckily, she was at our house when she got the email, and C had dealt with paypal more than I have. He told her that Paypal always puts the money in the seller's account and then the item is sent. Plus, her "buyer" wanted her to send her stuff to Nigeria. We sent the email to paypal, and they confirmed it was a scam. I would try listing again, but make it cash only, and I do see a lot of people put something about "no scammers please" in their messages. Not that it makes a difference though...
But I do totally understand where you are coming from. The "buyer" for my sister's ring told her that was exactly what his girlfriend had been looking for and added some other sob story, so she was hooked. I am just glad you were able to get the package canceled before it was sent out. Good luck selling it!!
Our baby girl!!
