You do have PayPal protection if the purchase fails to show up or is not properly represented by the seller.

Your credit card provider can also reverse the transaction if it turns bad.

I did this with a GEM I bought from a crooked yank last year. (Had to wait 3 months but I got my money back).

My advice is do not go beyond the PayPal protection limit for the seller in bidding.
