Simply do what you'd do if anyone else was paying you cash for something:
Apologise for being suspicious but carefully check the banknotes, using the techniques explained by the Bank of England here:

If you've still got any doubts, ask to see some ID (such as a driving licence or a bank card).
Most people are honest!

You should never accept PayPal if you allow collection for an eBay item.
The seller could claim he never received the item. PayPal ask you for proof of delivery (not proof of posting) and if you can't provide a tracking number the buyer will get his money back, regardless of any other proof you have, such as signatures, photos, a bounced cheque.
If it is a large amount and you are worried he should be happy to provide proper id or accompany you to your bank to deposit the money.

Dna samples , photo , Photographic evidance of his own , finger prints , all bank notes checked for quality a well as qantity.
All for an item he could have purchased " and had delivered " without half this hassle.
still if you get him to walk you to bank , he could have the benefit of doing a bank job as well as being a mass murderer. lol
the best you can do is check the notes , im sure they will be fine though.
as for the second account in nigeria , well lets face it we have a lot of foreign workers in this country , so someone is bound to meet one or two at point.
if your honestly worried have a friend there at time of sale.

I am with johne on this one. Most people are totally honest, and would not dream of conning another decent human being. It is a very hurtful thing not to be trusted, but all I can suggest is to count the notes you are given, and then take the car number. Nothing in life is totally safe, and banknotes are very, very hard to forge.
As they say in the "Creature Comforts" video "You trust everyone once". If you do not trust someone then how do they have a chance to prove themselves to you?
