First time selling something on eBay. Is there any Paypal scam I should be aware of?

Well, topic says it all.

I'm selling something for the first time on eBay.

Is there any kind of scam I should be aware of or any precautions?

I'm accepting Paypal only.

Thanks.

Make sure you receive the money before sending out the product

Aside from the obvious, don't accept people who want to offer you more money than the product is worth [by obscene amounts, not talking about a normal profit] - don't accept WU, or ship to any of the 'off' countries.

Always check the persons feedback history, if the guy hasnt bought anything in ages then goes on some spending spree you know something is off. Aside from that just use common sense.

Yeah, that sounds like... ok.

The guy who bid seems ok... he's from UK and has only one negative feedback from 400 feedbacks overall, and I checked that feedback it was regarding a "payment delay, sending remind again".

I just want to be sure I'm safe with Paypal, like there ain't gonna be any chargeback or something, if that's even possible with Paypal.

Make sure you ship it with tracking and keep all the receipts and info... if something goes wrong you will have proof that you shipped it...
