Sounds like a load of sh*te to me. PayPal is NOT an escrow service, and legitimate emails from PayPal are written in good English without spelling mistakes. "paypalintls.com" is not a registered domain name.

Basically, your buyer is trying to rip you off. Whether you wish to proceed with the sale is up to you, but I'd be surprised if you get the cash from them. I'd be inclined to forward the message to PayPal / Ebay, and (if you're feeling generous) give your buyer one last chance to cough up. Insist on a bank or building society cheque (and wait plenty of time for it to clear), or cash on collection.

I agree with AndyC- Forward the message to PayPal and if they confirm it's genuine then go ahead with the deal
