I am selling something that I advertised on gumtree and the guy is going to send me his paypal email and I am to invoice him the money(or something like that). Is it possible to be scammed easily by this and is it safe?

Actually, I just went to my best friend 'Google' and he told me all about it.
Yeah, you could get scammed.

I googled it and couldn't find a good enough answer, wanted to hear from someone who could advise me on my specific instance.
