Question for EBay sellers... Scams?

Footbag · 02-17-2010, 05:06 PM

I just listed a Used iPhone 2G on Ebay. It is already up to $152.50 with a few hours left. I marked the sale CONUS only. The high bidder only has one previous feedback and buy from a year ago.
Now I'm reading about how the iPhone is the number one scammed item for sellers on Ebay. I already know to look out for a phishing E-mail telling me I've been paid which is supposedly from ******. Is there anything else I can look out for? Assuming I get paid, how do I know if it's a stolen card which will be reversed?
Is seller protection worth it? I'm not sure if I qualify, but is it something to look into?

Is there a way to have ****** check a suspicious payment?
