... the "buyer" states that he wants to buy your thing. He then agrees to send to your asking price via <Paypal, Western Union, etc> plus an additional amount (like maybe $2,500 or so) for "shipment" or "transportation". Next you get a fake email from <Paypal, Western Union, etc> stating that they can't wait to pay you, but *first* you need to pay the "overpayment" back to them, or the buyer, or somebody. From there, it's a classic advance fee fraud scam... you pay, you lose.
