I sell a lot of stuff on craigslist as well as niche classified sites and from time to time I get people contacting me asking about the item and agreeing to buy it, but they never send the paypal payment.

It's the same thing each time they give you shipping info then pretend to send you paypal but never do. Out side of getting your paypal address they really don't get any info from me so I'm trying to figure out what the angle is here.

Are they just hoping you ship the shit with out checking your paypal for payment? Are there scammers that try this on large scale and just playing the numbers actually getting stuff? It just seems very odd and I've had it happen a few times now so I know it's not just a random mistake.
