Now, if it is a scam, here is why they want to pay via Paypal. Because you can pull any payment you make via Paypal up to three months later. That means, you spend the money he pays you and he can pull it back a month later, leaving you negative that amount he paid and also with a free gift that you sent him. I would not accept paypal at all if you have an inkling of doubt. Paypal do not ask questions alot of the time, all he has to do is dispute a payment, say it was paid without his permission, or that he never recieved your item, and they will refund him from your account.

okay im confused regarding this instance. I thought paypal was suppose to be secure. How can the seller be protected here if paypal can just withdraw your a/c? How can it be a free gift when there is an actual transaction and reciept? unless of course you wish to not declare it in customs for duty and taxes purposes (then again, second hand items, not sure how that process works)
