I recently opened a PayPal account. Is it safe to order something from the US - this on PayPal as it's the cheapest I've ever seen it anywhere? If it gets lost in transit or delivery, will PayPal reimburse me for the cost sans delivery?
Looking at their record they've done 6000+ items at 99.3% positivity so they should be safe but just wondering about that above.
Also, they don't get my bank details do they, like so some shop in the US has them on their record - only PayPal knows my details of bank and that stuff? Just my PayPal name and address to send it to is all they'll get?
Yes, I do it all the time, never had any problems even when buying from China.
All my guitar equipment is coming from the US and its worth about $1500 AUD all up.
If you get insured shipping (which is usually offered) you should have no problems at all when your dealing with an eBay Power Seller.
They don't get anything other than your mailing address (and the money of course).
