Yes and no... They can dispute the transaction, which causes Paypal to hold up the money until it’s resolved - and that can take weeks or months. If you sold what was advertised, you’ll eventually win but it can take a LONG time.

Don’t take Paypal - take cash.

Don’t take Paypal - take cash.

One other caveat, pick up only. Never meet anyone at a strange location. And,if you think you should take a friend or gun for safety, don’t go.

Not so much true unless you use paypal on ebay. Buyers do not have the same rules as they do on ebay.I have used paypal for payment for transaction over 5K off craigslist, money went straight to my bank account les 2.9% fee.
