Well, unfortunately, Paypal wasn\'t on my side as a buyer few years back over at Photo.net. From what I heard, local police got involved and the guy got caught...The truth is, there is always risk with on-line purchases. Paypal will NOT always be on your side regardless of payment method and whether you follow their rules or not! As buyer/seller, YOU will just have to do your homework and go from there.

Unfortunately, PayPal will always side with a buyer who wants to defraud a seller, and the seller has no recourse, so the same rules about checking references and only dealing with established members applies to using regular PayPal just as it does to using PayPal Gift.
I know that this is not true from recent, personal experience. If you follow their rules, then they will be on your side.
