And what do you suggest instead? PayPal is in many ways no different to sending a cheque, postal order, or cash. If the seller scams you, you wouldn't blame the post office for selling you the postal order, so why is PayPal any different? If you don't trust the seller, then pay extra for an escrow service. The only method of payment that gives you any comeback would be a credit card, and chances are that an ebay seller wouldn't have the means to accept a credit card payment.
