Selling Motorcycle via Ebay.

I am selling a Motorcycle on Ebay and have asked for a small deposit via Paypal and then cash on collection. Someone has messaged me asking if I will accept, at end of auction, the full amount paid via Paypal, including any charges and he will collect the bike after the money has cleared. 

Is this a safe/good way to trade as I have been told stories about payment reversals or something??

Thanks in advance.

You have NO paypal seller protection for motor vehicles, personally i would not even accept a deposit, cash on collection only.

 

Also there is a scam where the so called buyer sends you a spoof email saying you have been paid BUT you have to pay the courier for them via western union etc before your funds are released by paypal.
