Looking to buy some parts from a guy I meet on line am I insured if something goes wrong? How should I go about paying for item??  He will ship them after payment is received... Thanks

That depends on MANY factors all listed in Paypals buyer protection policy for you to read so you can risk assess your transactions.
Legal (bottom right of Paypals pages) > user agreement > buyer protection.
