A word about Scammers

I cancelled my pay pal account because I kept getting emails that my account had several failed logins and it was not me. When I cancelled my pay pal they told me it was probably a scammer trying to get me to use their login link, which I did not do. I did think of that also.
Brings me to the question I am a new member and would like to sell some stuff but I understand this could make people not want to purchase anything so what is the fix here.
The world is full of lazy crooked scum and most of them are on the Internet I think.
I am not one.
What are the best options other than PayPal, which is linked to your bank account.
