I put an ad on a forum asking to buy a pair of headphones
A guy PMed on the forum and told me to give him my e-mail so we can discuss
He has 0 posts there by the way

He sends me pictures of the headphones I want and he said he lives and is shipping from Spain while I'm in Canada
He say's he'll take Paypal
Is there any way I can be scammed?

It's like this bbbc. The short answer is yes, very much so!
If you scroll to the top of this page, you see the site search box. Type in the words paypal or paypal scam, words to that effect. The results that show on the screen will blow you away. And the paypal scams all have a familiar theme. I am in no way saying said company is at fault but scammers are a tricky lot. May I suggest you save yourself a lot of heart ache and simply buy a pair locally or purchase new from a reputable store. Also buying online gives you little warranty protection should the item go pear shaped.
