I have a personal account, not business, I am selling a couple of things on Craigs list, if I send an invoice to a buyer, is there any way they can cancel the payment after I have shipped it to get it for free? I would be providing tracking numbers etc. I only have a few small things so I don't want a business account if possible. thank you all for your time. I read lots of agreement stuff but don't really see if I'm covered, I was overwhelmed with all the legalese.

Yes, a payment can later be reversed through the dispute or chargeback process (‘completed’ payments can’t be canceled) and you will be held liable with a negative balance if you don’t have the funds to refund the customer.
Please read seller protection terms about the basic and additional requirements to be eligible for seller protection.
Cases of Significantly not as described are not covered unless the buyer lets on in the dispute/claim that it’s buyer’s remorse.
If you want to avoid all that, ask to be paid with cash/pick up in person.
Kudos & Solved are greatly appreciated. 🙂
