You can't really as anyone can add paypal to their website and start to sell.

So your best bet is to read up on Paypals buyer protection policy and then risk assess your transactions.
Legal (bottom right of Paypals pages) > user agreement > buyer protection.

Avoid these............

Chinese Web Sites or on Social Media ads easy to spot (once you know the below signs) so buyer beware.

1. No return address on the returns policy............thats because the site will look as if its in your country (where they despatch goods from) BUT they will ask for returns to go back to China (returns depot) at a shipping cost nearly always more than the item is worth.
2. No contact telephone number............if you click on contact the most you will get is webmail or an email address.
3. No company address information.
4. Great looking items at bargain prices that turn out to be tat.
