My son is selling an Iphone on Marketplace and the person wants to buy it is in Miami and the ad is in Jacksonville. He wants to pay using paypal is this safe or is he getting scammed? I think he should wait for a local buyer to deal face to face he said he will use friends an family for payment, I still think its a bad idea being so far away.

Its against Paypal rules to accept a family / friends payment for selling goods and you risk your Paypal account being limited if you do so.
A buyer would not be able to open a Paypal dispute for 'non-receipt' OR 'not as described' as they would have no Paypal buyer protection.
However they can still open an 'unauthorised transaction' OR do a 'chargeback' (via their card issuer) and you may well lose as you would have no Paypal seller protection.

Kudos / Solution appreciated.
