    If selling through paypal get the other persons email. Send them an email with a message in it, ask them to read it back to you.

    I once tried to sell a 60 gb video ipod. The guy sent a PayPal payment, so I shipped the item out. The next day I was notified that the PayPal payment had been reversed.

    I contacted the post office and very luckily was able to get the package stopped in Colorado at this scammer's local post office. They said they see this scam happen all the time, which was shocking to me.

    So make sure you're very careful about getting online payments, especially with credit cards through something like Paypal, which can be reversed.

    craigslist.org

    try and find somebody local. Drive it to them

    but im pretty sure this isnt the right forum for this.

    EDIT: i just saw this at the top of craigslist
    Avoid scams and fraud by dealing locally! Beware any deal involving Western Union, Moneygram, wire transfer, cashier check, money order, shipping, escrow, or any promise of transaction protection/certification/guarantee. More info...
