Thereof, can you get scammed on Craigslist with PayPal?
Yes, cash, in person only. Here are some of the ways you can spot these PayPal scammers who use the same tricks over and over: Once again, they need your email to send you that bogus PayPal link. They offer to pay you more than the item is worth for your troubles. It's Craigslist, no one overpays.
Beside above, does PayPal protect ticket purchases? It protects only the sale of physical goods. In other words, if you're selling intangible items like tickets, transport cards, e-books and music, then PayPal won't protect you if your customer makes a claim against you.
Furthermore, can I get scammed with PayPal?
Once a scammer has hacked into somebody else's PayPal account (as in the case of the phishing email scam), they can make purchases and send payments with the money from the account they have taken over. PayPal may reimburse the seller if they are able to confirm that the account that made the payment was hacked.
What is the safest way to accept payment on Craigslist?
In any Craigslist transaction, never give out any personal or financial information. Always meet in person, bring a friend, and deal in cash or use a secured/proxied form of payment such as PayPal to avoid giving your credit card information to the seller.
