Paypal for Craigslist deals?

[slayer202]

Looking to buy some event tickets for something tomorrow night and some listings say they are electronic tickets so paypal only. Paypal doesn't cover you for stuff like this, do they? Are they scams?

Paypal offers near zero protection. I've been ripped off on Paypal twice before I stopped using it.

The general rule is that if you have to ask, then it's probably a scam.

Sounds like a scam to me. If it were legit, you'd be able to CC it.

Craigslist = cash only, no shipping, no BS.
