Only if you use paypal or cash on collection. Any other way there is the risk of being scammed. :)
Its a SCAM! Avoid any contact with them. Ebay only works with escrow.com for payments and any type of vehicle purchase
you get paid via paypal. PayPal is linked to your bank account, so you can transfer the money from your paypal accnt. into your checking accnt. and the other way around. Just go to paypal.com and register.
if your social security number lock you will be safe
Ship it as soon as he pays for it.
No.
Generally speaking, no, but in the following circumstances they can: If you have your eBay seller account set up to make automatic PayPal payments for your selling fees, eBay will take the money from your PayPal when the fees fall due. If you sell something and the buyer claims that it didn't arrive, you need to provide proof that the item was delivered, otherwise PayPal will side with the buyer and refund them from your account. If you sell something and the buyer claims that they didn't receive it and they paid with their credit card (through PayPal), you could be subject to a "chargeback" and in this case, yes, PayPal might well take money back from you. To keep yourself as safe as possible from potential chargebacks, you need to make sure that you follow PayPal's Seller Protection Policy to the letter. Log into your own local PayPal site and search for "seller protection" to see what you need to do.
Yes it is safe. But you have to pay for ebay.

It is safe but be careful about using credit card/paypal since it causes reserve.
Yes, it is safe if you are buying online with PayPal. PayPal is a secure service and a secure way of making purchases. If you do purchase a used iPhone from anywhere, you need to find out if the esn is good.
