Can I verify a vendor's legitimacy

[carguy1949]

I'm dealing with a vendor on an automobile website to buy some accessories. He accepts Paypal, how can I verify that he is legitimate ?

Read up on all the information in Paypals buyer protection policy so you can risk assess your transactions.
Legal (bottom right of Paypals pages) > user agreement > buyer protection.

If the price is high, I would say don't buy. Also ask for company and tax information. 🔗
