Have him ad 4% to transaction amount. That covers fees and no FNF.

Quoted from CubeSnake:^^This^^
I had a close friend of mine sell his documented HUO Truck Stop to someone on ebay. He got top dollar (at the time) for it, IIRC ~$3000.00. He had shipped it thru Pilot Air. Buyer received it in about a week and confirmed that. Money was transacted via PayPal. All was perfect for about 6 weeks and then he gets a claim notice from PayPal claiming "item not as described"....they yanked $3000.00 from his account and began their kangaroo court system of "investigation".
Long story short, they buyer claimed that at some point, the playfield glass must've been broken because there were hairline scratches on the playfield. It took him a month & a half to concoct this "defect".
My friend gave in and said to ship the pin back and all will be forgotten. He said, "No-YOU come & get it !" Keep in mind this was located in TX and he's in CT. Bottom line, PayPal refunded the buyer and he got to KEEP the pin, and my buddy is out 3K PLUS the pin!
Paypal is an excellent medium for scamming people, believe me.
For 3k, thats worth a plane trip and knock on the door.
