What’s to prevent the buyer of the alleged fake from buying a cheap POS violin from a thrift shop, smashing it and using that to satisfy PrayPal, then keeping the money and the good violin too?

Reminds me of a favorite event from my teen days.
My maternal grandmother was living with us, and pretty much non compos mentis from hardening of the arteries.
Every five minuets, or so, she would ask what the weather was outside.
My father bought a cheap violin at a pawn shop and gave it to her to see what she would do.
She immediately put it to her shoulder and started playing My Old Kentucky Home. Kentucky was her home state.
Agree! This could easily be the scenario. Wonder if the seller had it insured and would it be covered?
