I know some have reported problems with paypal,
but I have been selling online for over 7 years and have not had one problem.
but I get several fake paypal emails a week, scams trying to get my info!
I always forward any email (that isn't a receipt) to [email protected]
if it is real they will tell you but 100% of them have been fake

Here's a great resource for having possible scams checked out, or doing research on all kinds of internet and non-internet scams, worldwide.
http://www.fraudwatchers.org/
I spent some time doing volunteer work for this organization and can tell you it's run by caring individuals who want to help eliminate all kinds of scams. Scammers and scams are a very large problem, and unfortunately they target seniors more than any other group.
