I am selling a $3,000 boat to someone and getting paid by Paypal. It is sold "as it"; once he picks it up I never want to hear about it again.
Can he, under any circumstances, file any sort of complaint (well, outside of small claims court of course) with Paypal to try to get his money back?
Also... I read on Venmo's website that they should not be used for a transaction like this; it is only for payments between people who trust each other. that is not true with Paypal is it?

If a buyer opened a claim, PayPal would need proof of shipment "tracking" u would not have.

Absolutely can.
He drives off with the boat and stops a few minutes later, uses comptuer or smartphone and files a dispute for item not received. PayPal asks you to provide a tracking number to prove delivery. You fail to do so. Buyer gets a refund. You have no money and have no boat.
If buyer has already paid, then refund all and let buyer know that you will only accept CASH at pickup. Then you can relax and enjoy yourself when buyer drives away with boat.

Cash or bank-issued cashier's check ONLY for local pickup.
NEVER use PayPal for local pickup (unless you personally know and trust the buyer).
Don't mind Renee, she doesn't know what she's talking about.
