 'I have someone who wants to pay lg amount of money for an item I am selling on Craigslist. Then they say they will send a delivery service to pick it up with them only seeing it in pics on craigslist. They want my paypal account email address to put the money in. Is there a way this could be a scam? How long after money is in paypal should we wait to let then pick it up.'

I believe this is a scam.  They will most likely use a stolen bank account,  the funds will  become available and in a few days you will be contacted from the bank.  the scammers also will send checks that will clear cuz they are from real accounts just not theres.
