From what I've heard from others Amazon is worse than ebay in terms of scam buyers. I can't talk from experience because I've never been personally scammed on either platform and I've sold a lot of expensive stuff on both: MacBooks, laptops, iPads, etc. EDIT: Now that I think about it, that's not entirely true. I was "scammed" on eBay by someone who claimed their PayPal and eBay accounts were hacked. I only send to PayPal confirmed addresses so PayPal's seller protection took care of me for that because the address was confirmed by PayPal.
However, I've gotten a LOT of scam Amazon messages. They are all the same "plz send me pictures at [poorly obfuscated email address]." I'd get 3-4 a day for a used Macbook. The scam is they get your email address by getting them to email them and then they send you a fake "shipped send now" email. Some people even go as far as just sending "shipped send now" as an Amazon message! I've reported all these and Amazon doesn't do anything about them. All they did was ding my seller account for marking too many messages as "no response required."
