Help! I Need An Amp Purchase Option Other Than PayPal

@mitch4t
Without buyer protection one can hopefully look at past transaction ratings.  You have neither.  There are people out there who will say anything to con you out of your money, many are very good to excellent liars.  Don't let your lust for the amp blind you to common sense.  However, it's your money - gamble as you please.

Go to your bank and send a cashiers check or a wire.
Another option is zell or Apple Pay.

Looks like poor options. Although there will be a paper trail which works well for established businesses because you can sue in court and damage their business reputation, it doesn’t work well with out-of-state Craigslist sellers. If the seller refuses to send the good after payment, you can’t reverse the charges and chasing the seller(scammer) for a refund, goods, or trying to sue them (if you can find them)...good luck.
