The biggest pain in the ass about selling with paypal is paypal themselves. They won't let you release the funds from your account for a few weeks while they 'verify' it, will likely require you to send them a copy of a photo id, a bank statement, SIN, etc etc to prove your identity. They also hold the money to give the buyer time to report a problem before the money is gone. If the buyer reports a problem, ANY problem, paypal will side with them with next to no investigation, taking the funds from your account. A buyer can essentially get the item for free that way.
Even if the buyer is 100% legit and honest with no intention of ripping you off, it's not worth it to jump though paypals hoops. IF cash isn't an option, interac e-transfer should be the only option for long distance purchasing
