Hello @Irishmonique64
Not legit. PayPal will never ask you to send money in any for before you can get your payment. PayPal does not work with the shipping or freight of the items being sold and therefore will not be involved in that, therefore will not be asking you to arrange shipping.
You can send those emails to spoof@paypal.com for PayPal to investigate. I wouldn't recommend continuing to engage with this buyer.
Hope this helps. All the best!
