Great advice, especially #s 2 and 4.
Always use a credit card, PayPal, or other method that will allow you to dispute charges. Never send as a (PayPal) gift - that's even worse than using a debit card (ie, no recourse at all).
Always do a web search for the seller. It can verify (but not 100%) that the seller is honest but can't always tell you if the seller is a scammer. A scammer can change usernames and sites (but it will help spot the stupid scammers ).

#1 can be faked by changing the time on the camera and/or using file editors. It's better than nothing but always be suspicious.

#3 is not 100% sure-fire but you can get a feel for the seller. If you see anything suspicious, bail out.
