If you paid via PayPal and Seller has no proof of delivery you should be protected. If you made a PayPal friend payment you have no protection.

The same “no proof of delivery” can also work against you when selling. Buyer pays with paypal, picks up the item then buyer puts in a claim to PayPal stating no delivery . . You lose the item and the money. Never ever ever take a PayPal payment if the buyer is picking up the item. Ie no proof of delivery.

This is also a rule of thumb if you're selling to people on 30 day accounts - don't ever use couriers who don't provide signed proof of delivery (ie couriers please) or you'll be processing credits for goods you know they received.
