Hello folks,
I am looking to buy tickets to a ballet from a user that I met on Reddit. These tickets are to a ballet in Italy later next week. The seller is asking me to send them money through Paypal. How do I protect myself during this transaction in case the tickets are fake or not delivered? Will I be protected by buyer's insurance?
Thanks in advance!

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.
Advice is voluntary.
Kudos / Solution appreciated.
