Apparently, read this somewhere else, the scam is that they will then change their mind and ask you to refund the money (probably suggesting you send it to them to avoid the refund fee). Once you have refunded the money, they then claim the original payment. So they started with $100 and now they have $200.

Ah ok, that would make sense, thanks)
(Btw, recently I had a guy who seemed legitimate in wanting to buy my stuff... I asked him to send 120USD... to a charity and just send me the paypal receipt.
He stopped answering my messages when I asked him the post address to send the drawing to)
