They have tried using this scam a few times on me with various motorcycles/cars. What they do is try to acquire your basic Paypal information (nothing compromising, usually a name and email), then create a fake transfer of funds made to look like it came "official from Paypal" via email. They will then claim they sent more funds in excess of the price for whatever made up reason (shipping deposit, accident, found a flaw). After, they ask you to refund the excess or they will call the authorities.
I usually let a scammer run it's course so I can understand the process and relay it to others.
