Did not expect the Vatican imprimatur on an eBay sale.

eBay is where I go for almost everything. Private sellers. Commercial sellers. Industrial sellers. Almost anything I search for, it has. I enjoy buying from private sellers the most, have had some cool interactions. I bought a Hank 3 T-shirt one time and ended up talking to his mom, ex wife of Hank Jr., Gwen Yeargain, about a sizing issue. Hand written thank you notes in cursive from an old lady on the East coast, many more.

I bought and sold a lot in 1998-2000 and have a bunch of antique technical stuff to sell now that I'm retired.

Is it a still a safe place to sell and get paid?

I've never had an issue buying things. From what I can tell on /r/scams, usually, scammers will try to pay you through a different app and not PayPal. So just require they pay through PayPal and you're probably fairly safe. For anything large: pickup in person and cash only will stop almost all scams.
