My impression is that if you sell something of higher value, the scammers come out in droves. I tried to sell a DSLR through them, and the same scammer kept winning the auction and it took weeks to get out from under that bogus bid. I ended up selling on craigslist. Yeah, I had a few scammers, but they are easier to identify on CL, IMO.

I agree, it's mostly based on what you sell. Electronics like phones and cameras are notorious for this, while more niche items tend to be safer.
