I had a near miss a few years ago when I sold a laptop. I received an email from the buyer, shortly after his paypal payment had landed, giving delivery details.
As it happened, I was away from home and when I arrived back a few days later, I prepared to package up the laptop when I got an email from paypal saying the payment had been sent from a stolen credit card account and they were reclaiming my / their money. I'd check the small print of the payment protection (it only covers you for despatch to certain countries) or give it a day or two before shipping.
