Selling on Craigslist, can I be scammed?

ok so i'm trying to sell something thats worth a good amount and this person said he would buy this as an xmas present but he's currently not in the country and offers to pay me first which he won't stop asking for paypal account name.

 

I never sold anything on paypal so my question is, is it possible they can somehow get there money back or will it be secure?

Hi there!  I would recommend skipping on over to our Security and Protections board, and in particular, this thread.  Great info there that will help out (and lots of examples of stories that are, well, kinda similar to what you're describing).  Worth a read!
