Empty your Paypal account now, if there is any money in there. If it is a high-dollar item, empty the bank account too. I’ve done ebay stuff for years, never had a claim against me, never had an item lost in the mail. Paypal still locked my account with $600 in it for 6 months for some BS reason, and they wanted tons of info I didn’t have. Lesson learned. Always get delivery confirmation, save that info, and always keep your Paypal account empty when selling things. If you are dealing with high $ high risk items (Laptops, etc) keep your bank account that is linked to Paypal empty. I’ve sold one laptop for a friend, and I’ll never do it again, just too much risk when they are $500+.
