PayPal/Ebay Seller Protection

[JMapleton]

I've been selling stuff on eBay recently and I noticed PayPal has something called "Seller Protection."

There was a large thread earlier about eBay and most people basically summed up that PayPal/eBay screws sellers all day.

This is how it's described from PayPal's page:

"Protection for items not received

When you ship to the address on this page and provide proof that the item was delivered and signed for, you're protected against claims for items not received. For complete requirements, see terms."

I recently sold a $1000 item to a newly registered eBayer. I verified the address, dude has a government email, it seems legit. Should I worry? Can I depend on PayPal's Seller Protection?

I wouldn't depend on PayPal to tell me water was wet.

I never trust, even if they have a ton of feedback.

I sell on Ebay all the time and have never really read the fine print.
