I guess it's the same sell/buy gold via paypal money scam. You could either inform paypal that you were scammed, and explain them in full detail, or pay that amount back.

It works because the US requires financial instruments (money orders, cashiers checks and such) to be paid out within XX days (10?) so as not to hinder commerce. If the instrument is counterfeit, the cashing institution will charge back the person who cashed it in.
The scammer looks for someone who will think the money order or check is good because the bank pays it in good order. After all, if you were sweating it and the check cashes, it all looks legit. In the mean time, the bank has just released the money according to law, and they pass the money order on down the line for payment.
At some point it will hit the issuing bank and be denied as counterfeit or stolen, and the institution refuses to pay.
When the bank can't cash it after 30 days they want the person who cashed the fake instrument to pay their money back.
This is also a double hit, because the scammer usually says they have someone in the US that they need to send money to anyway, and they will just send say 1000 to you, you keep the $200 owed to you and pass the rest along.
When this happens the victim goes out and uses the funds to buy a legitimate money order and send it to the "friend" of the scammer. This money order will clear without difficulty before the bad one fails.
The giveaways are that the scammer is usually out of the US traveling or working, they buy something and pay extra, and they want you to send the money along after you cash it. They sometimes offer you a portion of the money you pass along as a handling fee.
Stay away if any of that is going on.
You used to not be able to sell laptop in Houston on Craigslist without dealing with these people.

OP, Normally I would troll somebody in your situation BUT as you are young AND seem genuinely worried, then I shall refrain on this occasion.
To start with, who's details did you use to open the PP account?
How many real details did you use?
As has been stated you have learnt a valuable lesson by falling victim to this old scam.
You should consider telling your parents, just in case they do send debt collection letters etc.
As you are under 18 you could call PP and explain the situation, this is probably the quickest and easiest way to deal with this mess.

If he is in a lot of countries, his parents can be held accountable for his actions. In the US for certain. It depends on PayPal.

Damn for a second I thought this guy was making some lie up about me, I clicked the title thinking he was talking about me then started reading and was like O.O
Anyway, Sometime within the next 365 days you WILL get some mail with your name on it to your address telling you you to pay that $800, If you dont then that MIGHT go on your credit and mess it up before you even get a chance to use it.
Never be the middleman for anyone with your paypal.

Seriously dont worry about it, as long as it doesnt have your SSN number. If it was that easy any one could do it with and put there neighbors information. If the account isnt limited yet, change the address or something. You probably wont ever be able to use paypal again and have to go stealth but at least its worth not paying the $800.
What about ebay calling me for 192$?

Dont believe that post. Now if you owed like 100-200 then yeah maybe they would leave you along (I owe eBay $300 I think and I have yet to have issues).
In your case you owe $800 and PayPal/eBay (brothers and sisters) will go after that money.
Your best bet would be to checkout a method I posted http://www.blackhatworld.com/blackhat-seo/making-money/671803-method-make-12-20-hour-100-fail-proof.html to pay it back or talk to your parents about it.
