So I put a listing on Craigslist to sell some concert tickets whith my cel # and I got a text offering more than what I asked and to send my paypal info. Well I aint that stupid but it did get me wondering... Let's say for the sake of arguement I sent him the paypal info he puts the money in and I send him the Tix, can he then cancelle the money sent? i assume sense it's not an ebay item there is less things to protect you. Just wondering his angle..
Thanks

I have seen it happen just like you say. I would definitely stay clear of that deal.

Paypal sucks for the seller
One of the reasons I do not accept it.

If he sent the payment as a personal payment like with the Gift or Money Owed options, there is no buyer protection, so he wouldn't be able to pull a fast one like doing a chargeback. Still, I would only take cash from someone on Craiglist, just because of the high percentage of scum on that site.

Stick to 'cash in hand' from anyone on Craigslist. Seriously.

I just had the exact same thing happen to me.
