There is the answer. 100% scam. There is no such job, it is called a Money Mule. The PayPal accounts would be compromised (hijacked, Phished or using a willing/unwitting partner).

You get a commission on the amount and send the balance to someone else. This is technically Money Laundering, very illegal and liable to get you in serious bother with the Police.

Thanks for posting, and well spotted.
