My personal suggestion is to NOT sell the MacBook on the itnernet.  High demand electronics are very high risk for failure.  You still have an option to cancel the money request.

 

You will have no way to prove it worked when it arrived in the case where the buyer claims non-working.  You have no PayPal seller protection of items not working.

 

Sugest you spend some days reviewing other seller issues on this forum and see what problems they really have.

 

After you understand PayPal better, when you are ready to sell something, start small and send a detailed PayPal invoice rather than a money request.

One more thing after reviewing all of the additional information:  I think the email you receved is not from PayPal and it is a scam to get your computer while you get no money.

Cash is a very good payment method.
