be smart, use common sense.
all will be fine.
Scammers are nothing more than individuals looking to get something for nothing.
They can knock on your front door too.
EBAY and PAYPAL are fine communities..just pay attention to the detail and the transaction.
Not everyone is a scammer....
Ebay scams ,scams,and more scams

I agree Tony.
I've done a lot of business with PayPal and on eBay and as long as you pay attention it works.I get the occasional scam eMail as a result but they all have somthing about them that looks fishy.
The latest was an "official " looking eMail from PayPal that announced that a $220 Cell Phone was charged to my account by a guy in Saco,Maine. Of course, there was a prominent button to click on if I wanted to dispute the charge and of course they then ask for your password,etc.
A quick check of my PayPal acct. confirmed that it was a scam
