There are two things you must do right away. 1. Look at the senders address in the email from PayPal. Click on it to reveal the true adress ( raw address ). It should be from XXX @ paypal.com, not from any 3rd party. If it is from a third party you have been defrauded. 2. Go directly to your PayPal account and look at the balance. If the payment does not show, you have been defrauded. PayPal always shows pending transactions. DO NOT MAIL THE ITEM until your PayPal account shows the payment in your balance. If you already mailed the itme, you can intercept it via USPS and UPS and FedEx, for a fee, but this doea not always work. You have to dig through their web sites to find the place to do the intercept. It can still take days or a week to get the package back to you, but at least you can sell it again. Report EVERY fraud to the FBI. Report it to Craiglist and to Paypal. Let the whole world know about this kind of fraud.
