ok so i sold my iphone on ebay. But the guy i sold it to wants it by this weekend. The money is currently pending in paypal. Will this money be deposited in my account after a few days or do i have to wait for him to do something (like escrow). Does this like a scam?

I never use ebay so i dont know a damn thing about this kinda stuff.

I'd say fuck him. Just because he 'wants to have it by the weekend', doesn't mean that you should take risks. Wait for your money to get into paypal before you send it.

but...

The money could be pending as a result of how EBay does business. I guess we will have to wait for someone with a brain to answer.

wait till it clears, never send anything until you you can see the money in your payapl, even if they want the product quickly.

ebay/paypal have this new thing where you cant have your money unless you receive good feedback, submit a tracking number and wait 3 days after it is delivered, or tell them its already been received and still no money. its super gay

I'm just worried that if I ship the dude will never confirm that it's been delivered and I'll lose my money and phone. Can this happen?

no, all you have to do is get in touch with customer service at paypal and tell them that delivery has been confirmed yet they havent released your money, thats what i did

What goku said, and if it goes 30 days without being cleared it automatically clears into your account.

On the right side of the transaction information it gives you a release date for the money if there is no tracking number given or if the buyer does not leave positive feedback.  My latest release date was three weeks from the time of payment.  I don't know if it is the same for all of them.  I would tell him he could have the phone by the weekend if he leaves you positive feedback immediately.  That way you can get your money sooner.
