Protection on private transation

[Gramo]

If I wish to purchase an item from an individual, ie, not on ebay or an online shop, but a private seller, and I am not happy with the condition of the product, what protection does paypal give me?

That depends on 'many' factors all listed in Paypals buyer protection policy for you to read and then you can risk assess your own transactions.
