A word about Scammers

I've used paypal for 16yrs and never had a problem with it. I buy and have sold things on ebay using paypal. If they don't use paypal I ask if they will take a check, wait 7 to 10 days to be sure it clears before sending the item. Most are good with that. If they insist on a money order I wont do the transaction.(too many bad stories about them)
Also with paypal you can use a credit card for the transaction, There may be a small fee but I would rather pay a small fee than be out a few 100 because of a scammer.
