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.

I hate PayPal also.....  my last listing was on USAM and had the caveat , LOCAL CASH SALE Please.  ...   I ended up trading that preamp in toward a DAC .   I got my asking price listed on a trade,  it was a no brainer.  No brainer for dealer either .  Made money on DAC and preamp

If you list something on CL and it is really nice I will pay a reasonable cash price .  If you are interested in something I have and offer a fair price, it's yours.   

Not a fan of online interstate sales .....

Now, why was my reporting of a post to an online trading scheme from piercebrady taken down by the mods? mt5 trades Forex, Stocks and Futures and is open to all manner of fraud. I flagged it to the mods and my flagging of it resulted in my post being deleted.  Funny that.

All the best,

Paypal is like a bank that gets its money for free.It will use any possible dispute to seize funds and hold them and even when the seller and buyer agrees to cancel the sale will hold the proceeds for up to a month -or longer.So I can understand how somebody might not want to use them.

CL is one scam after another.
