PayPal may be safer than going it alone - but its NOT safe !
I delivered two items by express courier - parts numbers as ordered by the buyer - and the buyer claimed they didnt fit !
This was by the way total BS
With no attempt to contact the seller, no attempt to return the goods, and no explanation or proof that the two items didn't fit he got a full refund by PayPal
PayPal chose to completely ignore our complaint despite tons of transactions.
In this case the fit was a 3 hour exercise that was allegedly done within minutes of the time/date stamp of courier receipt (FedEx) !!
So PayPal refunded the seller, there was no requirement for the seller to return the goods or make any effort at all and this was under extreme protest by us to PayPal that it couldnt have been possible or that in any case there was an onus for them to attempt to return the goods for exchange or refund
So - Please dont think that PayPal is safe.
They will in almost (but not every case) side with the buyer and against the seller.
So it maybe safer for the buyer but certainly not for the seller when dealing with an unscrupulous buyer.
