Payment protection

[Cmaier]

Hello! I am suspecting an online fishing store from Indonesia beeing a scam and that I will pay the products and never receive them. However, the online shop admin is proposing PayPal as a payment method that will protect me from fraud. Can anyone advise how is it working? Will PayPal lock the payment untill I confirm the package delivery? Thank you!

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.

However before going further, can you send me a proof that you actually have the rods, some pictures or a video with them?

Do not use friends/family as it will negate your buyer protection and normally that is the option scammers ask for.
