Don't worry too much... there are far more genuine (if indecisive) buyers than scammers.
I've just sold my BMW of the past 5yrs through Ebay. Advertised for £1500. On the initial contact through Ebay messaging I made it clear they could only drive it if they could show me an insurance cert with DOC cover. Guy was fine with this and he produced that.
I asked him if he wanted to use cash or bank transfer and he said cash. I just said that it must be £20s and/or £10s not £50s. He understood that and was happy to comply.
All went smoothly and off he went.
We use bank transfer now to pay for cars we buy but make sure the seller is au-fait with their internet banking first.
