Minecraft wiki entry for Player_versus_Player, associated text: If you are with a group or faction of people and have a reputation on the server, use this to your advantage. Create a fake base near the spawn. Be sure to make it look convincing, perhaps a low sky base or an obsidian above-ground base. Do not store anything (basic non valuable gear like leather armor and stone tools will add to the facade, however) in this base and make a trap inside the base, like a Piston Pitfall trap or Button-activated trap. People will come for this base assuming it is your real base. Unfortunately, it may not always work. This method works best on faction servers, but if you are good enough at designing these you can make it compatible with a non-Faction PvP server. Once they fall in the trap and die, you are able to take their items. This is a great source of money, items, and PvP supplies.
