If selling through paypal get the other persons email. Send them an email with a message in it, ask them to read it back to you.

I once tried to sell a 60 gb video ipod. The guy sent a PayPal payment, so I shipped the item out. The next day I was notified that the PayPal payment had been reversed.
I contacted the post office and very luckily was able to get the package stopped in Colorado at this scammer's local post office. They said they see this scam happen all the time, which was shocking to me.
So make sure you're very careful about getting online payments, especially with credit cards through something like Paypal, which can be reversed.
