It is the seller at risk with some transactions where postage is involved.
After buying, the buyer pays from a legitimate, PayPal account account for item and postage.
Kindly collects item from seller to save the seller having to post item, when seller notifies they have money in their account.
So far all fair and square.
A few days later, buyer submits a claim to PayPal that they have not received their goods.
Seller cannot provide proof of postage, or show proof of arrival because buyer collected.
PayPal insist all sellers have proof of postage and receipt.
Buyer refunded by PayPal under the buyers guarantee.
Seller is stiffed.
Don't think it would work for a golf cart sale though!
If you use PayPal correctly you can pay large sums with no problem.
Over last 20 years we have paid through them on three occasions for winter rentals in TV.
Mostly I use bank to bank payments. Easier and cheaper.
