Thanks for the response. That's what I finally convinced myself of. So many flags: not seeing the money in my account, even if it was on hold. The email had a reply address of paypalverification @ GMAIL . COM! and, the "buyer" of my item was on Facebook Marketplace and I could not click through to their Facebook profile, like I could with every single one of my other marketplace buyers. When I did a search on the name/pic in the facebook ID, I found a profile set up in 2018-2019 (two different people) and nothing was posted at all, just a set up and a photo. I'm sharing all of this in case anyone else comes across my thread and has questions. It really pays to be suspicious with some things!
