On the flip side I have been screwed by a buyer wanting to use regular PP and promising to pay the fee and then not paying the fee. I guess I could have just canceled but I just considered it as a lesson learned with that buyer.

In thousands of deals and trades, I've never really been screwed. A few eBay sellers have just never shipped the item, which is an easy refund from eBay. A seller has physically taped a rare card to the package (boy did that one hurt) and damaged it. One major dealer sent me the cards used in their Fair listings when I bought the G-VG ones and then blocked me after I politely requested a return. That's about it; never had a hiccup in any private deal yet. While scammers are replete, it seems most of them aren't very good at it and the odds that common sense will get you through a deal are very high. The vast majority in the collecting side of the hobby are pretty decent folk and not pulling anything. Never felt a need to use G&S for everything as a result, if someone insisted on it I would think it a red flag that they might be looking for a problem.
