Selling on eBay?

How do you protect yourself when selling on eBay? I have an item posted and it has a bid and just want to make sure I don't get scammed.

Thanks!

I got so tired of eBay I stopped selling and buying there. Craigslist isn’t much better.
Read their buy/sell history. Don’t do PayPal gift to save on fees. But then again PayPal doesn’t offer much protection for sellers, only buyers.
We almost got scammed for a car. Luckily I know checks of any kind ( personal, bank checks etc..) can bounce for up to 2 weeks. So if they want to pay buy check don’t ship item for that long.

The current potential buyer has been member since 2011 I think and has no history for last couple years and may have only bought one thing in past.
i know I need signature when Shipping since item is over $750. Just not sure what else I might need to do.
