Could this be a scam? How can I make this more secure?

[Maiainez]

Hi, I have a person wanting to buy some vehicle seats from me off <Removed>. He is offering to pay my full price via PayPal and have DHL pick them up. He will be arranging all of the shipping, all I have to do is wrap them up. The person wanting to buy them is in Germany... and I am in Australia. He has been messaging me at like all hours of the morning in Germany... He also sent me a linked-in account to show who he was... but I still feel a bit weary.... is there any way he could still potentially scam me? What can I do to make this transaction safer? Or is it too risky.... Thank you for your advice! It’s greatly appreciated.

Sounds very fishy. I would not do that. Too many hacked/stolen Paypal account.

I once had a buy from Austria (I am not in Austria) that wanted to buy something expensiv, and paid with Paypal. I don't recall if the the shipping address was confirmed or not, but I refunded right away when I saw the Account was from Russia.

You could go one step further, let em pay, just to see more details. And then refund.

Or, ask them to use transferwise.com - it's quite cheap to use and 100% safe. Money will go directly to your back account. And once it's there it can't be taken out by anyone but you.
