Paypal is safe if you are using it correctly. Do not use paypal for larger transactions like this.

Tell him to wire you the money.

I use it regularly without problem but have had a few disputes in over 700 transactions. It has evolved to protect buyers more than sellers IMO, which isnt a bad thing.

NEVER respond to paypal or similar emails, close it, log on to paypal and if there is a message, you'll get it there. People will phish for your info if you are unaware! I've had dozens of them with proper looking logos etc..., so I assume its common.

Was it gmail account? Anytime I sell anything I just delete the gmail or hotmail never had one be legit.

I use paypal all the time however I wouldn't for large transactions. Paypal will keep a big chunk. It's ok for deals under, say a grand..
