So I put up an add on craigslist for my laptop and these are the emails I had received , so I wanted to know whether it is legit and if so how long will it take for my credits to get funded to Paypal and how does the tracking order thing work and if so , does this look legit as I don't want to be scammed, I received nothing on my paypal about pending transaction where I have to email paypal the tracking order or something .

Your screenshots probably won't show up until tomorrow when approved by the moderators.
But I bet its this scam from what you have said............
SCAM.
They encourage you to accept a 'direct' Paypal payment and may ask you to send the item internationally.
No funds or activity of the transaction shows in your Paypal account and any emails 'may' go into your junk or spam folders.
You will get/got a "fake" email that looks as though it is from paypal.....it isn't because they don't actually have a Paypal account and have no intention of paying you.
It will say the buyer has paid ...you won't have been paid.
They will tell you that the payment is released when you provide paypal with a tracking/shipping number......this won't happen.
Paypal NEVER tell you to send an item before the payment is showing in your paypal account.
Paypal do not tell you to send trackable, they advise it for selling protection but it is not compulsory.
Delete any emails and ignore the scammers.
Advice is voluntary.
Kudos / Solution appreciated.
