pay using paypal credit card. that way, you are protected by credit card fraud protection. 100% value. I always, do and I've done fine on it.

e-mail him, ask for a phone # & call 'em up...

...don't buy if you don't feel comfortable, or it doesn't feel "right"

3rd party trade if possible, if the guy is legit, he shouldn't have a problem with a 3rd party, especially if you're paying for it.

Credit cards have some sort of internet fraud insurance thing. Basically, you can get your money back if your scammed. Pay Pal is just a way to pay using your credit card over the internet.

Paypal is begining to become greedy. They are now trying to get you to use your direct bank account with no fraud protection. Only so that you can buy their own fraud protection (it now takes a month to sign up with paypal with a credit card!)

discover, visa and MC. even debit card, if used as credit card. Basically register your debit card as credit card. As long as they have visa/MC logo, you are protected, but it has to be registered as visa/mc, not bank transfer. (it worked for my friend)
