I've used PayPal in the past and never had issues with them but, are there better option out there to use. ? Such as Zelle and or Venmo ?

The reason I ask is that I've got an old expensive Charlie Daniels Violin up for sale and someone from out of the country has asked me to use Venmo, another asked if I would take Zelle as forms of payment(s)... I just hate to get burned $1000 and or have Paypall freeze payments etc..

Just curious if anyone has used these other payment companies before..?? Any advice ?
