I guess it really is true that you can't be too careful. As for the original item that I posted about, like I said above, eBay showed the item as delivered and the seller kept saying that the item has been delivered. About 10 days later it showed up at my house. Now how could it have been delivered if it didn't show up for another 10 days? I can't say it was a scam, but there was definitely something going on there that was suspicious. I just can't figure out how they got eBay to claim that the item had been delivered by the post office when it obviously hadn't if it showed up 10 days later. I'll probably never know, but I do know that I will always use PayPal for anything that I buy online. They have saved my butt more than once.
