Being scammed?

Hey,

I am in touch with a lady that wants to buy a watch of me. There is a payment of 70 pounds in my girlfriends Paypalaccount. My girlfriend forwarded me some emails that supposedly come from the paypal team. But the emails contain spelling mistakes and the email address ends with [at]accountant[dot]com, where I expected [at]paypal[dot]com. Furthermore, the lady thats buying from me wants me to send it to Nigeria. All together makes me wonder if I am being scammed.

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Just tap Nigeria and ebay together into google and you will see why you should not send anything to this customer.
