This is a scam. The fact that the name "Nigeria" is involved should tell you that.

Gee, this one certainly sounds legitimate, doesn't it?There are still several things that sound an alarm.If you have never received payment from PayPal, then you do not have an account. There are MANY scams involving PayPal, so I would not assume a transaction is approved and valid until the total amount was actually received by you. Not "approved," but received. You did not mention whether you were in fact selling the item mentioned, or whether this person contacted you to buy it. But, the fact, that the address is in Nigeria sets off the biggest alarm of all! Scam! Run for the hills.

I don't understand exactly what you're saying happened, but it's a scam. Will not pay more than what you ask if it's a scam. You are only covered by PayPal if you exactly as they appear in their seller protection guidelines. If you feel like it's a scam 99 times out of 100This is. People pay more then $ b/c they think you might be interested in the ship even faster.
