Scam Attempt?

I'm pretty new to paypal and I was selling an item. They asked me to send it to Nigeria through International Express Mail(EMS) USPS mail. Also I got a email saying there was a pending payment, and it does not show up in my transactions here. Now he says he wants his money back, and he said that he will go to Paypal or even the FBI. I don't know if this is a scam or not. But it seems really sketchy.

Yeah I figured. I didn't wan't to insult his engloish and since I never use paypal I wasn't sure of procedure but after seeing in the email itself it said not to do what he was telling me to do. The idiot copied and pasted the email You receieve when money is sent to you. I politely told him to go procriate with himself nd that was the end.

I've got those jokers on the horn right now.  I was curious how they would try to pull it off, now I see how it works.  Very interesting.  I'm stringing this guy along right now out of sheer amusement.   Does anyone know if there's a place to report them and their domains or anything?

You can report them to www.ic3.gov

 

It's the online portal for the FBI internet fraud squad.

 

They're pretty busy, don't expect anything to happen.
