If purchasing, I'd always be suspect of anything on CL. However, you're the seller. Once the amount is deposited into your paypal account, the money is yours. You can let the buyer know that the camera will be shipped within 36 hours of receiving the payment. This will allow you to withdraw the payment and put it in your bank.
I would also take very detailed photos of the camera from all angles prior to packing it. I would also send it registered and require a signature upon delivery. Then you have proof of its appearance and delivery.

I put my Canon 1DX Mark 2 for sale with batteries, battery charger, and other items on Craigslist and received an almost immediate reply with an offer for the full amount to be paid by PayPal. I am really suspicious that this is a scam. Should I be?
And, by the way, I am asking $3700 for the camera (absolutely clean - no marks, <28,000 shutter releases), 3 batteries, battery charger, card reader, RRS base and 4 CFast cards.
