Be glad some weirdos didn't show up at your house and take more than the bike.
This applies to Craiglist also. People are hurting for money these days and expect the scams to increase.
EBay may be the only reasonable place to sell stuff at it has protections in place like all transactions are done through eBay.

Re: ebay
People both buyers and sellers do not realize the expense. Outrageous how can you evil seller charge so much for shipping. Well ebay charges the seller their listing fee on the shipping and then everyone pays with paypal and they take their cut on gross sale including shipping. I've not sold on ebay in quite a while but total fees were like 20%. Now you need to collect tax as well. I expect that people pay the tax using paypal. So you pay that fee on the tax as well.
Even feedback has changed. The seller cannot leave negative feedback for a buyer. So the buyer from HELL will have great feedback.
