Cautious about this Craigslist offer...Help?

Did I little digging and found out that even WITH PayPal, there are scams. Providing fake e-mails that look like they come from PayPal, later (sometimes in months) claiming fraud from "not getting the item" and getting their money back and the item, or even hacking others' accounts. They really put me off with their "wording":

"i will send your payment using PayPal it easy fast and secure.."

More I look at it, the more I don't like it. Going on the safe side and I'll pass on this one. I'll wait for someone local who seems actually interested in seeing the camera and who wants to negotiate on the price with me. THEN I'll feel comfortable.

They're getting sneakier! Thanks for the help guys, I was tempted to call but someone else had called and they still got ripped off. To me, it's worth a good chunk of change that I don't want to take any risks on.
