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.
ebay is not immune to con artists. I bought a gift hardcover book collection ( harry potter) at a very low price then received an email from ebay saying be wary of this transaction. As it turns out the seller was a known fraudster to ebay yet he was on there selling. I received my refund so be forewarned, the scammers are everywhere
