also if its fake paypal, why cant they do that on ebay?
It's not an actual fake PayPal account. They just somehow forge some PayPal document saying that a payment was sent. Was told that they usually include many spelling mistakes.
Never actually tried playing with a scammer, but I may if I'm bored.

Friend had a great craigslist story.
Basically a scammer tried asking him to ship some merchandise overseas. My friend responded that I know your a scam and I like many others don't like to ship things overseas. So instead I'll give you a us address to send stuff to, this way you'll have an easier time convincing people to ship. Then I'll sell the stuff and give you a percentage. The scammer was all excited to go into business together and they worked out the logistics... a couple days later the scammer said he got someone and wanted to confirm that the deal is still on. My friend answered back that he's not interested anymore...
Couple weeks later scammer said that he got someone else and a mac computer is on the way. Friend told him to jump in the lake and he ain't getting any money. Couple days later compute shows up!
After asking a rabbi he kept it and sold it.. it was a stolen computer from a school, but sold it for parts

I just hope the guy doesn't send any of his "friends" after him.

I wouldn't worry that much about a guy who lives in his mother's basement in Nigeria.  :P

I'm surprised the Rabbi didn't tell him to ship it back to the victim?

That's why you are supposed to log into your PayPal account to confirm that the $ is there, They can always forge a email
