Craigslist + Paypal = Scam. Craigslist is full of scammers, your best bet would be to meet someone at a Starbucks and conduct a cash transaction.

Ebay+Paypal+Buyer Protection= SKETCHY.

I've heard lots of bad stories about things like this not going well. DON'T do it.

It's better to be safe man.

If you don't know what you're doing, then yeah.

I bought my 2011 13" MBP on eBay and couldn't be happier...no problems here.

EDIT: Didn't see post date...

Paypal only favors buyer, NOT seller. You are screwed if you are seller.

Paypal is reverssible, dont use it for transactions.

If hes in the US, get him to send money to your bank and make sure that payment is not reversible.
