I put my camera up for sale on Ebay. Someone 'bought it now' 20 minutes later for a WAY above normal price for that model in the condition that it's in.

They didn't pay within 24 hours, even though an invoice request was sent and completed by myself. Then out of the blue I get an email saying that he has paid through paypal:

He hadn't - there were no funds in my account. 5 minutes later a fake paypal email arrives saying that I've been paid funds (that I obviously hadn't)

I want a good way to respond to keep this guy strung along that I'm going to post it and that I'm fooled into thinking I have the money.
