I have used Paypal to buy somethings and taken it from several TE members when we have sold things with no issue. I have a wheelset on sale on Craigslist right now, the rear wheel has a very specific size hub making it a hard item to sell. Tonight I got a request to take Paypal and ship to Kansas. The email looks very legit. The address is a residence in the city, the guy gave a full name which does come up with some involvement in activities, he gave a home and work number. The only thing he asked was I include shipping in the cost, which seems no less the fair than someone locally who asked if I would knock $50 off immediately.

If the paypal clears to go in my bank account before I ship, what other concerns are there? I haven't put much thought into it because here on TE everyone has been relatively active posters or at least enough I knew they were for real. I did however buy a toilet paper holder from a guy in Georgia I found on Craigslist.
