re: Paying for a vacation rental though PayPal

As a vacation owner I've used PayPal in the past. It's just a payment processor, as said you will be protected by PayPal there's not really a way for them to scam you through PayPal and get your money. Make sure the place has plenty of reviews and tell them to put the name of the place, dates you are staying, address, and your name on the PayPal invoice. Basically you want all the important details on the invoice, so that if there is an issue it's easier to resolve with PayPal.
Vrbo and Airbnb charge large fees to use them, 5% or more. So to book through them would cost you 5% more and they get all your info and spam the hell out of you.

He likely won't have any issue renting on this trip, but this statement above is not true. Harder now than it used to be, but scamming through PayPal still happens.

My understanding is that airbnb holds payment from seller until sometime after check in. I'm personally comfortable with the fees because I look at the fees as security that I'll get what I paid for.
