Weird Buyer Behavior

I am trying to sell a refurbished laptop and I have been approached 3 times by people saying they want to purchase it without taking their chances at auction. They ask me what I'll take for it and agree, but they always ask for my Pay Pal email so we can do a direct money request. I am assuming that these are all attempts at scamming me. However two of the three are individuals with high feedback scores from people with high feedback scores. I don't know what to make of that. Any advice.

Whatever you do, always confirm payment and that it is "OK" to ship by logging into your paypal account, never rely on confirmation from a email or message.
