How to protect yourself when buying through Paypal?

Question

ebay

I found a product on ebay, but the seller does not send parcels to the Russian Federation. When asked to issue everything through ebay, he did not succeed and he offered me to pay with an invoice through paypal. After that, they say, send the goods. He has only 200 reviews, they are positive, but as a seller there are only 2 reviews, reviews for 2 years. Is it safe to make a transaction through paypal? If so, how to do it correctly and what are the actions in case of a fraudulent situation?

Answer 1

in any way
for non-USA and Europe, Paypal is not at all the same, it can return, or maybe not, it’s
especially piquant to hear about
This is so that later the dispute is not opened, right?
about sending to the Russian Federation is also funny

Answer 2

Paypal is a payment system, not a store or an aggregator. It's like asking "how to protect yourself from buying through Yandex-Money or Western Union." I won’t even tell about free cheese to a person who is going to buy an iPhone at half price from a seller named Hanane Amar Ghazi.

Answer 3

Look at the invoice number, it's the first one. It will obviously be the last one.

Answer 4

Paypal, as a rule, takes the side of the buyer in disputable situations, therefore, in principle, there should be no problems, but I would not risk making a large purchase like this.

Answer 5

In any case, you should refrain from buying. There are a number of reasons for this. The first of them is elementary simple, you buy on eBay and not PayPal. If you were an experienced buyer, you would understand what I mean. And to prove that either in this case will be much more difficult.
