As others have clearly stated and not to come off as obtuse, but the Paypal service is literally called Friends & Family for a reason. I am all for saving a buck, too. However, getting screwed, hurt, etc., can be the end result of cutting corners. The very first lesson I learned on this site and which has stuck with me ever since is if I am ever to buy any expensive item used via a classified sales system, including pinball machines, it's Escrow.com. Escrow.com. Escrow.com!!!
