Buying second hand goods from a person not a company

[saskia19954]

Hello, i am looking to buy an appliance from a lady on Facebook however this will need to be posted to me and paid in advance. I'm i covered if for instance it never arrives or is damaged or not working ? 

Is it safe to pay tho paypal in this situation or will i loose my money if something goes wrong ?

Thanks

You ought to pay as goods and services in order to receive buyer protection on your purchase so make sure you do that:
