a Paypal deposit is not refundable if it is indeed listed as a deposit on a large purchase like a car.
read the fine print. A full PP payment is risky as there are some buyer protections that could freeze the money in case of a dispute.
Someone offering a PP deposit seems like legit earnest monies.
I hope the communications are not strictly emails. Phone contact and conversation exchange should confirm the presence of a real buyer.
A wire for the full balance directly into a deposit only account is totally safe.
An escrow service also is a good way if in doubt.
