Confirm receipt before goods arrive to release payment.

Hi there,

 

I don't use Paypal a lot so excuse me if a non issue.   

A seller (nice guy who i like) in another continent is asking that i confirm delivery of goods before they've actually arrived to speed up the release of funds to him.    Should i ?? My gut feel is no but i wanted clarification.   What are the potential problems in doing so.   If the goods then didn't arrive for whatever reason do i have a leg to stand on ??   Am I still protected in any way ???   Or is this a non issue that people do regularly and i'm being a drama queen.

 

Thanks

Never confirm until you have received, if you say you have received the item then you may lose any subsequent dispute for non receipt.
