Paypal almost exclusively sides with the buyer when things go downhill. I've sold to some sketchy paypal people and have only got burned once for $100.
When in doubt call the buyer, you can learn a lot about the person with a simple phone call. Check the shipping address, is the place a dump, an actual address, decent neighborhood....ect. largest transaction i did was for 1500 for a loaded set of wheels/tires. Got his phone, shipped to his work (usually cheaper) and verified employment by calling business and asking for him. Just be smart about it.
