This is an overpayment scam:
This is usually where the victim is selling an item online. The scammer does not want your 'item'. The scammer will indicate interest in buying the item but want to send a FAKE check or money order for more than the asking price for the item, requesting the seller to cash or deposit the check and send the overage to a third party, often a supposed shipping company. The "shipping company" or other third party is either the same scammer or his accomplice.
If you receive and cash a fake check or money order it will cause you legal and financial problems. If you send money to the third party YOU will be out that money.

Am very sorry for the lateness reply ,, I really appreciate your
response to my email. I want you to consider it sold, Pls do withdraw
the advert from CL to avoid disturbance,anyway I don't have time to
come over to take a look because of my Business but you don't need to
bother yourself with the shipment, I'll take care of that by engaging
the services of a shipper, hence I'll be sending a Certified check and
it will be delivered to you via United Parcel Service (UPS), so I'll
need you to provide me with the following information to facilitate
the mailing of
the check.
Full name on the check.
Full Physical address to post the check
City, State and Zip Code
Home & Cell Phone to contact you.
Note that the payment will be shipped to your address via UPS NEXT DAY
AIR SERVICE and I will like you to know that you will not be
responsible for shipping i will have my shipper to come over as soon
as you have cashed the check*
N.B UPS does not deliver to a P.O box addresses.Thanks
If you receive and cash a fake check or money order it will cause you legal and financial problems. If you send money to the third party YOU will be out that money.
