payment for a laptop on gumtree

[Need_help2]

Hello, I am thinking of buying a laptop through gumtree, just wondering if I am safe in paying him by paypal in case of a scam. Is there a particular way I have to pay in order to stay safe? Thanks!

That depends on many factors all listed in Paypals buyer protection policy for you to read so you can risk assess your transactions.
Legal (bottom right of Paypals pages) > user agreement > buyer protection.
