Hi all, I am getting ready to purchase some concert tickets for over $2K. Looks like paypal doesn't protect you unless the tickets are actually mailed to you. Unfortunately these specific tickets are not available until the day of the show (they don't mail out ahead of time), so it needs to be an in person exchange. I fully believe everything is legitimate, and the buyer wants a deposit to protect themselves (if I were to not show, they would not have an easy way of selling the tickets day of). We are kind of both taking a risk. I would be paying a deposit now, then picking the tickets up in person a month from now and paying cash for the difference. Question is how best to protect myself just in the off chance it doesn't work out? If I fund the deposit to the seller via credit card, even though paypal may not protect me wouldn't the credit card dispute option still be available? Any other better suggestions? Thanks much for your assistance! _Anna
