This is a considerably large amount; I would recommend for you to completely stay away from PayPal altogether. You will not get a single person to deal with you if you attempt to use PayPal.
Use something like Skrill/Neteller/bank transfer, or meet up with someone in person. If you meet up with them, make sure to be cautious and wary of everything.
Good luck!
Agreed, PayPal would most likely never be excepted unless it's from a very trusted user but even at that amount I would stay far away no matter what.
