    lol not totally man... they can do a chargeback and they can leave a negative balance in your account and then the bad guys come after you.

    Was the addresses confirmed according to paypal? are you shipping with signature confirmation? If you follow the paypal protection stipulations, youll be alright, but without proof of delivery (over $250, signature ONLINE confirmed delivery is required) and a confirmed address, youll be screwed if any claims come your way.

      He has a confrimed address. And I was already planning on requiring a signature.

        youve got it all covered.. any false claims, PP will immediately ask for that delivery confirmation # and look to see if it was confirmed... they should side with you in any event of a mistake.

        one thing ive learned from selling on ebay.. insurance is for the seller.. to be somewhat sneaky, throw it in with your handling fee and that 1-2 dollars extra is another measure you can take if something goes wrong... plus its no cost to you.

        ive seen too many sellers say that the buyer claims the item was destroyed and they opted for no insurance, and ask "whos at fault and liability"... seller is ultimately..

          Up to how long can they do this chargeback? This is why I normally avoid Ebay, way to many scams.

            credit card companies,... ive heard stories, as long as 13-16 MONTHS after the transaction.. many times, the damn delivery confirmation # is no longer available online, seeing as how they only store it for a given amount of time.

            With the steps youve taken, you look to be perfectly adapt to being covered with any PAYPAL claims. CreditCard chargebacks are a whole other beast..

            Now with ebay, as of september of last year, if you sell on ebay you are required to have a full premier account which entails accepting credit card payments.. no more screening paypal....

            so many damn loopholes.. just keep all your email and delivery info in a safe for atleast 2 years

                sorry to be a bug...


                take it with a grain of salt if you want.. consider the millions of people who use paypal on ebay to sell and buy.. only 5-10 dozen posts a day. good luck..

                  I just looked through Paypal and the address I'm shipping the laptop is confirmed from the buyer. Since I'm sending to the confirmed address, I should be ok right?
