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.

Just check Hifi Shark for that amp.
Trust me, you'll get it if you are patient.

Go to your bank and send a cashiers check or a wire.
Another option is zell or Apple Pay.

I'm north across the border, and I won't do it.

Looks like poor options. Although there will be a paper trail which works well for established businesses because you can sue in court and damage their business reputation, it doesn’t work well with out-of-state Craigslist sellers. If the seller refuses to send the good after payment, you can’t reverse the charges and chasing the seller(scammer) for a refund, goods, or trying to sue them (if you can find them)...good luck.
