Pretending to want furniture but lives out of state. Wants to pay with Paypal and add enough extra money so you can pay for shipping. It is a scam because shipper wants to be paid before arrival and will never show up. You pay the shipper and then discover that Paypal has refunded the buyer 100% due to non-delivery. Turns out there was no buyer, just a scam shipper who did get paid by you and you don't know who they are.

Not quite - the scam is that you will get a FAKE PayPal invoice from the thief who hopes you will wire money to the fake shipper before catching the fraud. The real PayPal has nothing to do with this. This SCAM has been used under many different numbers.
