    My website is posted at websitebroker and someone offered to buy it ($2500)
    Now the question is, is Paypal the safest way to complete this transaction? Could he make a chargeback after receiving the files and domain? Is there any other safer way to complete this transaction without being scammed?

    Is Escrow safer?

    Yes,They can make a chargeback after receiving the files and domain..As far as I know,The buyer can not make a chargeback if he pay you via masspay

    Yes, go with escrow bcoz it will take some high fees but your transaction would be secured than paypal

    For this big amount i also suggest you to go with Escrow. Paypal is risky if you are dealing with unknown buyer.

    DON.
