How does THIS scam work?

I'm selling a Kendon folding motorcycle trailer on Craigslist.
My ad clearly states cash only.
Here are the email exchanges:

Me:

Thank you for your interest in the trailer. The price is $1500 firm. Cash only. How would you like to proceed?


Buyer:

ts My pleasure reading from you. hope its on condition as described? I m kinda of the old fashion to on-line business purchase & I really don't like solving much on Internet & due to numerous report of Fraudulent activities going on. I felt safe because my only option of payment would be Pay Pal. Any way, do you have an account with Pay Pal? I choose Pay Pal due to my past experiences as i was been burnt several times hence i choose this means as my only choice of payment for security measure as with Pay Pal, I can easily send money directly from my account to you as its good for online transactions. Kindly check with them on their website wwww.paypal.com and have an account created. needed details after you av setup an account, is your name and email address in order to send money. If you wish to proceed with my method of payment then go ahead and Remove the sales advert from posting.



Me:

I'm sorry. Cash only.



Buyer:
