Defending "item not as agreed" chargebacks?

I have sold items on ebay before but recently sold an item through Craig's list.  The buyer paid through Paypal.  Can anyone offer good suggestions on how to protect myself against a possible "item not as advertised, etc.) type of chargeback.  I do plan to ship with signature confirmation but how could I prepare ahead of time in the event of a "not as advertised"  chargeback?  Ideally my buyer will just be a great guy with no ulterior motives but gotta think ahead.  Thanks

Just curious why you would accept a PayPal payment for a craigslist item?  PP and Craigslist go together like Tomato Juice and Mountain Dew.  If you do not ship the order or make a copy of the purchasers driver license and signature, to prove you in fact met them, then a chargeback would just be too easy for the buyer.
