    I think it's a scam for sure. The "Agent" picking up the game is a dead giveaway. They use that one all the time. Often the email you get from them is auto-generated, where the refer to your "item", or they quote your exact description of the game. Can you post the whole email they sent you? I'm 99.9 % sure it's a scam. Usually the agent picking up the game is associated with an overpayment scam...where they send you a fake check for more than the game value and you send them a real check...nobody ever comes to get the game. This must be a different angle. They might be trying to build your trust by agreeing to the paypal payment and later, they come up with a different plan. Very suspicious at best.
