Hello @Denham1, 

Welcome to the PayPal Community Forum! I can understand how selling on Facebook can cause some hesitation. In the case you've described above, unfortunately it does not sound like a legitimate sale. You should not need to upgrade your account, and normally someone wouldn't send you more than what the purchase is actually for. I would recommend reviewing the following Help Center articles for a bit more guidance: 

What are common scams and how do I spot them?
How do I spot a fake, fraudulent, or phishing PayPal email or website?

I hope that helps!
