Default paypal scam

So long story but basically I bought a brand new zune and am selling the used on I picked up because I needed good headphones and the best ones I found were actually zune phones that come with the new zune, but were otherwise $50 by themselves. So cost wise it was more intelligent to buy the new 80gb zune for $250 and get the $50 headphones included than to keep the $100 used 30gb zune and spend another $50 on the headphones. Anyway, I'm selling it on craigslist and this is an email I get about it…not sure how, but people have found a way to screw you through paypal. Probably cause it's a phishing paypal site instead of the actual paypal site. Crazy...
