I just sold my computer on Craigslist and the buyer sent me more than I asked for in order cover shipping costs which was nice of him. However he seems very in-a-hurry about the whole thing and I just want to make sure I am not a victim of some known paypal scam. He sent me payment and I got the confirmation, after I ship the computer and send PayPal the confirmation/tracking number is that enough to ensure he cannot charge back or dispute the payment and **bleep** me?

Nevermind, it is indeed a scam.
The email came from a gmail address. Also the grammar in the e-mail is very poor lol.
Dodged a bullet.

Glad to hear you figured that one out to be a scam - when someone pays you more than you're asking, that's a red flag - after all who does that other than people who are trying to distract you from their true intentions.
