Um, not if it's stolen money. And how would you know?As I mentioned bank wire is a safe way of receiving payments but you should also check which bank account it is and where the money is coming from.
I got caught out selling some old car parts on ebay. Buyer wins auction and chooses cash on pickup. Buyer rocks up, says "oh yeah, I paypaled you just now". You quickly check your paypal and confirm, shake hands and say goodbye. Two days later transaction gets "reversed" because they paypaled using a stolen credit card.
Can't really blame paypal or ebay. As per the law stolen money always belongs back with its rightful owner, now matter what that money was used for and who got screwed along the way.
