The next best thing is to use paypal funded by a credit card so that you can dispute if the sale goes bad. If you use a debit card, you have no recourse. Once paypal allows the seller to withdraw the funds from their account, there's nothing more they can do other than set the person's balance to negative. If they're a scammer, they likely don't care.

Personally, I think there should be some sort of escrow/wait period for sales like this but I don't think paypal offers that service.
