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.

The buyer should pay you with cash! Agreed but I have been in same situation. I went to look at a sub at a local craigslist sale and I knew the area was not the best in town so I did not want to carry cash. So I went , looked, listened and then asked if he was ok with PayPal as friends and family. I think he understood....lol Did the deal which is instant and all were happy. So there are situations that merit it in todays age.
