Will I be protected?

I have sold an expensive typewriter through eBay and it was paid with a Paypal account. The shipping address is in Bali (Indonesia), but the name does not match the name on  the Paypal account.

The Paypal page I am protected if I ship to the address shown and have proof of shipping and tracking.

AM I fully protected if this is some type of scam? Or can Paypal **bleep** me?

All help appreciated.

Well paypal doesn't **bleep** you but a scammer may.

Have you actually been paid yet? Only a lot of scammers send you FAKE paypal emails to say you have paid but no funds show in your paypal balance.

They tell you that you have to send trackable before those funds show....scam.... funds ALWAYS show before you have to send any item.

I would be VERY cautious about sending a high cost item internationally.

Also read up on seller protection as it is not a 100% coverall so that you can risk assess your transactions.
