Never used PayPal before or bought from a forum, any help please?

If your selling an item you need to have a picture of your items with your username and todays date on a piece of paper to show you have the items (proof). As for buying an item just put forward your offer or the asking price and the seller will email you his paypal address to which you pay the amount ageed, and before you pay paypal will allow you to choose the payment option prefered...choose "goods" this means you pay the 4% paypal fee (add 4% on top of the full cost) but if there ever any problems with the item or the seller doesnt send them etc you can open up a dispute and claim your money back. Once youve sent the money reply through pm to the seller giving him/her your address. Thats about it really 
hope it helps

On any purchase where you dont know or trust the seller pay the fee's or do a deal with fee included only ever send money as payment owed if you 100% trust the person who you are dealing with or its a very low value item your not fussed about

you get a online invoice with every payment
if you really want to you can get someone to send you one before you pay but most people just send the payment then the invoice is listed in your transactions
