Also as another suggested, use a separate checking account to deposit the paypal funds into (you have to elect that to be done each time or they will keep it in the paypal account). The feedback system is very important. I personally won't sell to anyone with less than 15 unless they write me first and explain and give assurances as the newbies cause most of the problems (no offense intended) and give the bad feedback without trying to resolve issues. I have over 1100 with 100% but you have to be vigil. Using Fedex or UPS is automatically insured for $100. and has free tracking to know where your package is and when it was delivered and you can require it to be signed for.
I'm confused. Can you explain why you don't sell to people unless they have 15 feedbacks, write you, etc? If someone uses paypal or sends you a certified check or money order, THEY are the ones taking the risk, not you the seller.
