You know... buyer's that use paypal are also protected... not only from your business insurance, but also when you setup a business account with paypal.
I have a business account with Paypal... what i buy AND sell is protected.
The only thing i need to do... make sure i ship in a timely manner, have a tracking number, and take 1-2 photo to show the product in it's condition (maybe 1 short video to show it working).
^I do this regardless of where/what/how i sell.

Paypal works both ways it protects the buyers and sellers. <div> </div><div> I would start a claim now and tell paypal about the weird behavior <div>they will start an investigation and ask the company to prove the item was shipped, if not no money for them and you get your cash back.</div></div>
LOL don't bet on it. Do a search on here for paypal problems. Paypal always sides with the buyer. The buyer can say it wasn't as advertised, keep it for 45 days and play with it then say it wasn't any good and file a claim with paypal (they will win and your out your money)
But hey, don't take my word, search it and read the horror stories. Paypal used to be the way, now that all the freaking cons found the loopholes, its sucks![:@] Only people I accept paypal payments from or too are people I have dealt with in the past or people I know personally. You cant trust everyone, that's why they are called ''CONS''
I trust Postal Money orders, cash on pickup, or I will accept a personal check but it has to clear my bank and when my bank says is safe, it will get shipped. Sad, but with all the evil people out there that want to take what you have and not pay a da** penny for it. This is the only way I feel safe doing business.

IF your a legitimate seller, then yes, you do offer some protection. But, we are not talking bout legitimate sellers here. We are talking bout obvious scammers. There is very little protection from a motivated and well educated scammer.
Just wanted to make myself clear and nothing personal was aimed at legitimate sellers. I too buy from online stores that offer a paypal option for payment. So I fully understand what your saying
I hope this time Im wrong, but I don't think so
Would you care to venture that the reason why the shipping date is so far down the road is because that gives the scammer 20 more days to sell the same thing to others and 20 days to close out his bank account and take his scammed earnings to his next location? I believe so. They are bottom feeders and don't mind getting dirty to make that extra dollar. Their downfall is they are also greedy. The greed is what will eventually be his undoing.
