Is it possible for a buyer to rip you off with Paypal?

smitty24

Is this possible? Im trying to sell some considerable large/expensive items and don't want to get ripped off. Is it possible for a buyer to screw me over? How can I protect myself?

Thanks for any info

Yes... they can claim they never got it and get a refund from Paypal.

USPS Postal Money Orders are best.

Only ship with tracking and or insurance, you have to be able to prove they received the item!

Document everything. Paypal often sides with the buyer when there is a dispute or complaint. Make the condition of the item and sale extremely clear.

Make it crystal clear in both your ad and paypal transactions. Save all emails.

Thanks gents.

It is a car! I decided to not do it through PP, since they take too much for their own cut. Im looking into a bank transfer.
