If safety is of concern to you, then be aware that for shipments to quite a lot of the world, PayPal won't offer you anything in the way of seller protection. Dispute over the item? Credit card chargeback? Good luck with that.

That hasn't stopped me from accepting PayPal from folks overseas, but I did so with awareness of the potential risks. They were almost all individuals for whom credible historical information was available, too, so I had some confidence that they were on the up and up. I had no problems with those buyers.
