Need some important advice about paypal please

So, I am selling a guitar and the guy sounds real anxious. Can I get scammed if we do this thru my paypal account?
He's not paying extra, just has emailed 3x. The deal on the guitar is a good deal. He wants to send me a paid UPS shipping label. maybe he works in a ups store or runs one. 
Any advice?
Thanks folks
Frank

    I would not do that deal. The prepaid shipping label sounds semi-scammy to me.
     
    YMMV

    Hey Bapu,
    Kind of did to me also. For one thing I would not have a signature confirming delivery. I have never been scammed on Paypal, but certainly have spotted scams and told the people to go take a hike (well not those words)
     
    Thanks for your input. It's valued and appreciated

    If its not too late. I'd bail. The guy getting all squirrelly like that just smells bad. I'm sure that there are a lot of people who would be happy to buy the guitar and act normal about it.
