NO NO NO!!! WAIT!

DO NOT ship this right away!

Sometimes the money in his account will "Seem to go through AND EVEN go to your back account" but there are ways he can take the money ouf his account before paypal grabs it. Then paypal will go to your account and pull it back out!

IDK if this makes sense but ive had this same exact thing happen to me and was with a laptop to... BE VERY careful.

If I were you id do a Money Order. Thats a FEDERAL offense if he does something wrong, and also he has to PHYISCALLY give the CASH to a Teller. (cant use CC's or Debit cards) that way you CANT be screwed.

I can't believe the original poster has to ask if this is a scam or not.

what is the first thing ebay tells you NOT to do?

NEVER END YOUR AUCTION EARLY AND SELL TO SOMEONE WHO EMAILS YOU!

If you can't tell it's a scammer (out of country) by the way things are worded then go ahead and make the deal. It seems obvious they've either used some sort of translating program or there grammar isn't exactly "spoken english". But I just noticed someone else pointed that out. But anyhow yeah, it's a scam.
