Is it safe to rent a vacation condo from Craigslist?

I just booked a vacation rental posted on Craigslist. However, the guy needs me to send $100 deposit for the rental to his PO Box. I’m very skeptical to do this. Are there any kind of protection laws that Craigslist offers in cases like this?

Craigslist does not offer anything but advertising services. They caution you about doing business on the internet. But, that is all that they can do. Asking for a deposit is not all that unusual. If you feel as though you might be getting ripped off, look for another rental. I am sure that you can find one that you might feel more comfortable with.
