I listed some rims and tires online for sale and some guy responded saying he could buy them only via pay pal so I joined pay pal and he sent to my email some money now he is saying I have to pay out of picket 700 dollars to some mover which he never mentioned before or I would have told him no deal so nowhere is saying im trying to steal his money and he is filing a police FBI report

You're simply being scammed - send the money back - then sell your items local for "CASH".

 

This is a classic scam an they even tossed in an optional fake threat.

 

In order to qualify for Seller Protection, the items you sell need to be something you can ship, track and insure if applicable.  Rims and tires are not something you mail so they would need to picked up in person or delivered by a 3rd party - a deal such as this would not qualify for Seller Protection.

Next, as the seller, if you had an item that could be shipped and tracked, you would send an invoice to the buyer, the buyer pays, the money is deposited into your PayPal Account Balance, once you have the money, you purchase and print a shipping label and annotate the tracking number in the the transaction record, once done - you ship the item.

 

As the seller, you're in charge - not the buyer.
