Buyer Scam: Purchasing with (foreign?) bank accounts. Want you to ship while pending.

Has anyone else been experiencing this? I have been trying to sell me Alienware laptop for over a month now. In both situations the buyer pays with a bank account through paypal. The payment is pending for two weeks then is cancelled by Paypal. The first buyer tried to tell me that I needed to ship them the item for the payment to process, HAH! The second buyer sent no messages but had no purchase history and created the account the day they bought it. Anyone else experiencing this? Is there any way to restrict payment to credit card or paypal credit only?

Not that I know of. Worst thing is they have verified US addresses so you would not know unless you called paypal to find out the payment details. Hopefully they are doing something about this.
