Default Scammers HOW?

So i am selling something on Craiglist. Before i listed it i figured i would only accept pickup with cash. Now i get all these email from people saying they want to buy it and they want to paypal me. i asked them for a cheque they informe me that they arent in USA.

My question is how do they scam when they pay with paypal?

don't worry your little head over it, just deal with local people and cash only.
