Paypal transaction question

Hello there,

 

i want to purchase a nike top from a seller on instagram. He has told me to send the money to him via paypal. I am worried if he is able to scam me once i send the money over to him. As it is not on sale because its not done through a website like Ebay.

 

if I am scammed, will i be able to get my money back?

 

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.

Do NOT use the family/friends to pay or you will negate that protection.
