Am I protected if I accept Pay-Pay?

[Donzikid]

I am selling a new SD-43 and the buyer wants to pay with Pay-Pal.
Am I protected so that if the buyer "claims" that I sent him a rock in the box, what happens?

[ZOOK]

No, PayPal protects the buyer much more than the seller.

Good luck

Short answer. No.

If he/she claims that, then you are in for a long protracted dispute in which you will lose.

LOTS of pay pal scams. I would not mess with it. WIRE TRANSFER is the way to go

Well, are you planning to send a rock? I ask because that's a very specific hypothetical question.

Actually the BUYER said he wanted to use Pay-Pal in case I sent him a rock in a box....he brought that up, not me.

Pay Pal scams are well known. Avoid PayPal at all costs.

Ok, thanks. I appreciate the replies.

I would never sell anything you can't afford to lose using paypal. Its a scammer's paradise, they side with the buyer every time (with a few notable exceptions).

You have a very desirable and still fairly rare watch, there's no need for anything involving paypal. A buyer willing to send a wire will be along soon enough.

In which case, pretty darned DEFINITE that buyer WILL be reporting of RECEIVING a rock in your box.

Funny that.
