Help! I Need An Amp Purchase Option Other Than PayPal

I'm trying to buy an amp out of state on Craigslist from a private seller. 
The seller has had a dispute with PayPal in the past.  
Do any of you know of a payment option that will offer the buyer protections that PayPal will offer? 
I'd rather not send my money out into the universe without any type of buyer protections.

PT Barnum got it right..........Have used paypal for years with no problems. Something would have to be horribly wrong to be banned from paypal.

I had the seller prepare and send me a PayPal invoice.
I sent the payment.
The payment was sent back to me by PayPal the next day by the seller.
I called the seller.  The seller said that on a prior transaction that the buyer accused him of selling an amp not exactly as advertised, the amp had different feet...something minor.  According to the seller, the buyer kept his amp and PayPal refused to send him money for the sale.
Without buyer protections, I can't do this deal.

call your credit card company, ask them how they will protect you if you use it to pay.
