Using paypal for local pickup


For items sold as local pickup only, is it a good idea to accept paypal? I heard that a buyer could say that he never received the items and paypal would side with the buyer as there is no proof of delivery.

I had a buyer use PayPal for some gear he bought in person from me. He used regular PayPal- not Family and Friends.

He listened to the gear at my house and verified that it was functioning properly and in the cosmetic condition that I advertised.

He then logged into PayPal from his phone at my place. He used a credit card tied to PayPal ( not a debit of funds from his bank account) so the funds cleared immediately on my end.

 I had him put a notation in the notes section of PayPal that he picked up the gear in person and that he verified functionality and cosmetic condition.
