Sold a truck on Ebay
Whenever I sell stuff on craigslist I just have the potential buyer meet me in the lobby of the local police department and have a police officer witness the sale if one is available. That usually weeds out the punks.
Not opinion, a very real possibility. I'm not saying everyone does it, but it is a very well-known scam. I win your auction, I send you money with PayPal, you post good feeback for me, I file a fraud complaint with PayPal, they take my side and refund my money that they take back from you. Sometimes, they require that I show them a shipping receipt to send back to you, so if they do, I go get a shipping label, then just never actually ship it back. Seller is screwed, PayPal will take the scammer's side every time and leave you up the creek. I'm not saying it's easy, but people work hard to scam you.

For what it's worth, I use PayPal, but not for large transactions. I'll take my chances with it for the nickel-and-dime crap that I buy and sell.
