I advertised an item and the person, who would not identify themselves, wanted to pay thru paypal. However, he wanted to added the shipping charges to the item amount and me pay his shipper when they picked it up. There were 6 replies, 5 definitely scams, but unsure how to proceed with this, if at all. I guess I need to know what is safe to accept through PayPal. If it was a straight forward deposit into my account, is there a waiting period for that deposit to clear? Or is that deposit legit at the time it is into my account? All of those scams were from Craigs list.
