It’s easy to defraud PayPal as a buyer and PayPal almost always sides with the buyer. When I ship international I always have the buyer use PayPal friends and family so there is no recourse. Once you ship anything overseas/international, their is no tracking after customs gets involved so the buyer can actually state he never received the product when he actually did.
Also for jasonbourne52 - you are misguided if you think it’s foolproof. You better know how to deal with buyers and PayPal. For example, how many times have you heard of the buyer accepting your items and then complaining to PayPal that what you shipped them is faulty where in reality, they are sending you their not working pieces and if you don’t write down the serial #’s or mark the product a certain way, then you the seller are out of luck.
also, I have had multiple people wanting their money back because they didn’t receive the item where I have a digital receipt of their signature on arrival. The list goes on. With expensive equipment, I force the buyer to drive here and pay me, I have had multiple people drive over 1000 miles to deal in person in cash.
