Know the real paypal site is all thats required. The deal locally only is not correct or helping people making legitimate sales, doing it correctly thru paypal with only an email address and or telephone number on file with paypal will secure the transaction, I use this method without any issues and paypal backing, have the seller of whats being sold with a created invoice thru paypal and send to buyers email address on file, paypal will assist you if would have a issue, protection both ways, I buy from all over and its great, wish the people that post this could understand this. call paypal if you doubt me, they will tell you the same thing as here, good luck.
