Is this a scam?

I am a small business owner and have been contacted via Whatsapp by a foreign customer who would like to buy an item from me.
I am naturally a bit skeptical of the conversation and for that reason I am directing them to pay to my Paypal account rather than share my bank details.
I can see scams online that involve a fraudulent email confirming receipt of funds, so I will watch out for that.
But assuming I verify the funds are in fact in my Paypal account - is there any further way that a scammer could get those funds back?

That depends on many factors all listed in Paypals seller protection policy for you to read so you can risk assess your transactions.
Legal (bottom right of Paypals pages) > user agreement > seller protection.
