Buyer requesting paypal address to send payment for product, is it safe?

[Anthony90]

I am trying to sell an item on craigslist.com and I have a potential buyer. He is asking for my PayPal address to send the funds. Once the payment clears his shipper will arrive at my location to pick up the product. Is this safe? What type of garauntee does PayPal offer that the funds are good and I will not be charged? This is the e-mail he sent me: 

Kind Regards....

Hello,

 Thanks for the swift esponse.I will like to purchase the item for my Son.He just set up a musical studio.I am out of town at the moment and i will be paying for the item through PayPal.If you send me your PayPal address and i will make the payment as soon as possible.Once the payment clears,my Shipper will come down to your plac to pick up the item.

If you do not have a paypal account or know about paypal,kindly go to www.paypal.com and set up an account.Paypal is easy medium for transactions and they ensure the safety and guaranteed of paymet between the buyer and the seller.

I look forward to reading from you.

 I am very worried about this buyer after reading some of these stories..Although, this guy says he will wait till the funds clear and then I can send via mail.. so that is a little different.. bet itsw still a scam.

Just got the same email. I believe this is a scam. The "Buyer" refuses to tell me where he is located , claims it is a gift, can't come to inspect the item for sale bcause he is working on a secret project... etc...
