There's two possibilities that will play out here:

1. You're a scammer who will disappear once you get 1 BTC

2. You're going to get scammed by another newbie account who will insist that you send PayPal first, using the reasoning that "you can always reverse payment if I don't pay you the 1 BTC." However, what happens is that you send the PayPal payment and he'll start stalling while he's busy offloading that money into cold hard cash. By the time you get around to processing a reversal the money is long gone.

You can avoid #2 by using a trusted escrow, such as myself, to hold the 1 BTC before you send payment. Of course that doesn't prevent you from reversing the charge later.
