I have posted some AvalonMiner 741s on craigslist and immediately started getting offers to that they would pay in full via PayPal in advance if I was willing to ship. The first one didn't raise my eyebrow. The second said they would also prefer PayPal and would add an extra $250 if I was willing to do so - which smells wrong.

I know about the PayPal reversible scam for selling BTC (and was burnt by it selling cloud mining contracts a few years back), but wasn't aware about a way to do this for physical goods transactions - but my sense is that they can get chargebacks via PayPal somehow even after I pull the cash out of my PayPal account. True? Can someone please confirm for me that the PayPal is safe or unsafe for these in-person physical goods transactions?


P.S. I asked both to switch to Coinbase and send payment via BTC or Ethereum address and one went silent and one is giving all the excuses of why they cannot use anything but PayPal.
