I haven't read every post and maybe someone explained this already but here's how they try to scam you.
After you send them paypal email.
1)They will pay with another victim's account that they already hacked into and hope that you follow special orders by shipping to where the scammer specifies, instead of shipping to paypal payer's address (paypal's rule in order to be covered). Scammer also rushes you so that you will ship the item ASAP before paypal finds out and informs you of the fraud. If you would have already shipped, then you can guess the results.
2)Scammer sends you a fake email that appears to be from "paypal.com", stating that the funds have been deposited to paypal and put on hold until you have shipped the item and provided receipt to paypal. Then the money will fully transfer to your account.
Those are the 2 ways I ran into. Unfortunately, I was the vicitm of option 1 many years ago when I sold my rims.
