For small amounts, it's fine. If you get stiffed, then you're not out a whole lot. Just post a warning about the individual so others know about him when they do a quick search.
If you're selling a game or something, then paypal is not the wisest course.

Quoted from tp:So got a reply off of mr pinball for a pin. End up making phone contact after bunch of emails. Seems like nice guy haggle some seems to know his shit about pinball. Finally makes offer and I except but offer entails meeting him half way. I accept and he hits me back can he pay via PayPal cuz he's in hospital and his brother n law will meet me and can't get funds to him....am I paranoid or something up?
As soon as there is a complicated story involved, I tend to suspect a scam of some sort.
If someone can make the time to pick up the item/game, they can make time to make a withdrawl.
