We have some pretty good people on here so I wouldn't worry too much about getting scammed. Everyone Ive dealt with has paypal and if you do get scammed paypal should back you up.

if you do use paypal and you dont get the product promised (as long as you didnt click "gift" in the payment box) you can open a dispute with them and they will work with you on making it right

I wouldn't use any other method of payment unless I was going to make the purchase face to face.

use paypal safe secure, but do not gift the money, send it with a description of what its for so if there is any issues you have something to lean back on! and buy away, i have only been bitten twice, once resolved quickly and the other is still an issue. guess which one went through paypal

yes as a buyer using paypal you have all the help in the world now as a seller you can end up taking it in the rear if someone is running a scam.
