I might be shipping a Nikon dslr and accessories to Miami fla.  I told buyer that I prefer to use paypal and create an invoice.  She would rather have me send a money request.  I feel uncomfortable with sending a request. Could this possibly lead to a scam or fraudulaent situation?

Money Request is an informal method to invoice for payment as opposed to PayPal invoice which is more formal. It'll look more like an invoice and all that. I understand we are still charged a PayPal fee with money requests so there should be seller protection. It'll say whether or not the transaction is eligible for seller protection in the transaction details of the payment. You can filling the pertinent info about the item being sold in the Write A Note field.
