Hi Sharpie, Love the name. Quick clarifications. My PayPal account is well over 10 years old. There is no "shipping" involved here as per my description above. This is a face to face transaction where she'll have a chance to see that everything is in working order. I've sold used computers for 20+ years and there's no way I would "let" anyone buy one from me without seeing it running beautifully first. The issue is that I can assume zero responsibility from the moment it leaves my possession because there are a half dozen things that can occur I would have no control over (also mentioned above in my initial query). I need a legitimate all sales are final, no returns, no buyer remorse kind of exchange and just wondered if PayPal offered anything like that. Even a check, once cleared, can offer that kind of seller protection. I think a bank transfer can too. CCs do not, since there is a dispute process for buyer protection, but I was wondering if PayPal has any kind of short window of clearance, so to speak. Like 5 working days or less? ApplePay Cash seems to, but you have to have an iPhone or iPad for that, and I "think" you can only do that hooked up to a debit card, not a CC. 180 days is great for a buyer, but abysmal for a seller. Again, when I was a merchant, we had to deal with the threat of CC chargebacks all the time and that was just part of what you have to do. In 10 years, I don't ever recall it happening except on our end when there was the shock of an extra 0 added to one of our charges and we worked quickly to clear that up! The problem with adding terms in a more formal PayPal invoice is that even a brand new computer can fail for no reason, no fault. It's unlikely, but not impossible. We've seen 'em fail about a week out of the box from Apple with no warning. It's rare, happens less than 1% of the time, but not impossible. I'm 100% certain that my personal MacBook Pro is as mint condition and well cared for as it can possibly be, but she doesn't know that. She'll have to trust me and the remaining 6 mos. on the Apple Hardware warranty. This is why cash is king. Maybe I have my answer?...
