[QUOTE="Dave_W, post: 99299, member: 9521"] I don't agree with this statement. Paypal is pretty even handed between sellers and buyers. I run a rare coin store and have sold items over 10k via paypal without fear. Paypal will never give a buyer back his money just because the buyer is unhappy. There is a long process for this and it requires proof of both mailing and receiving the packages. When ever I get a return, I pick it up at the PO and I film myself receiving the package and opening it up in front of the postal worker just in case the buyer has tried to send me a rock instead of the original coin. I've never had a problem but I have also used every effort to protect myself. I've had a few bad apples try to play games and was very impressed with how fast Paypal shut them down. Scams like paying with a credit card and then try to charge back the transaction thru the card company is dealt with harshly by Paypal. And Hippie is right about keeping separate accounts for your Paypal, very good advice, but I also want to add that you should only use a "burn" credit card when giving the number to paypal. Often times when a dispute happens and the money has been removed from the bank account, paypal will put a charge equal to the money against your listed CC, which can't happen if the only card number they have is a burn card with $50 on it.
