is this a scam "shipments at emails"

I received an interested buyer for a camera. It didn't seem to add up so I gave up, thinking it was a paypal error or something amiss with my account.
A few days later I saw this in my junk folder, it has an AOL e-mail in it and then redirects to <removed>

I'm a using personal account and buyer protection (so I think anyway!)

Now I have another "buyer" and things aren't appearing into my activity log, but I'm told to respond to an email.

 

Is this just a scam route?
Another e-mail I've seen in these headers now is <removed>

and <removed>

thanks
Matt

Hi @DizMatt

 

Welcome to the PayPal Community. We are always happy to have new members. 

 

When we send you an email we will always address you using your full name. We also do not use an AOL address when we are sending your emails. Please see here on how to tell if an email from PayPal is genuine. 

 

I hope this helps.

thanks.

They did use my full name but that's because I gave it to them.
It's the AOL and non paypal.com e-mail domains that really jumped out at me.
