About the F&F thing - I've run into this with transactions in another hobby and it's not always a scammer with the no protection for the buyer thing.

In a straight paypal transaction, the seller gets hit with fees that are about 3-4%. F&F puts the extra cost on the sender. For many cases, contacting the seller and offering to add that amount of money to a regular transaction will clear the way. They have a set price in their mind and won't take a penny less, so doing this meets their requirements.

You can search on the net as there are calculators for exactly this so you'll know how much to "overpay".
