Is shipping to PO boxes less safe?

I just sold a voice recorder on ebay for well over I thought I would go.

The guy that won it gave me a PO box to ship it to. I thought I remembered hearing something about people not wanting to ship to PO boxes. Is this a possible scam? Sorry if this is a newb question.

more likely of course.

i only take verified paypal and ship to the verified address though to protect myself, otherwise i don't care, too many scammers.

I don't know. I sometimes have things shipped to my dads PO BOX when I buy off ebay.

I tend to be leery of PO boxes myself. If it's a real USPS PO Box I might do it if their feedback is high enough and they're PayPal verified. But if it's a PMB (private mail box, like at Mailboxes, Etc.) then no, I wouldn't trust it -- those are very often used by scammers.

Confirmed address ONLY (so you can be safe)

his feedback looks good i'd do it

thanks for the advice guys. turns out he said I can ship it to his verified paypal address (not a PO box). I was just worried that it would be a scam.. you can buy the same recorder for like $90 cheaper online!
