Seller wants FB asap so paypal can release the money??

Ok, a friend of mine won a used computer this weekend through BIT. The computer was so oddly cheap as compared to the others, that she snatched it up just an hour after he listed it. She paid for the item instantly with paypal (visa on file) the next day. However, the seller contacted her today and asked.... if he shows proof he mailed the item, will she leave positive FB so that paypal can "release" the money to him. Note: He also made it seem like the shipping came up more than he thought and he needed the money to help with the shipping fee (applying the guilt trip). Even if that's the case, how will he get 'proof' of shipping if he hasn't shipped it out as yet. Ok, I'm confused here. I advise her to NOT leave feedback until the transaction is completed, meaning that the computer is also working as described etc. What do you think of this? I didn't know paypal holds money until feedback, or is he pulling a fast one. I smell fish.
