Yes, with paypal if you are sending cash if it is for goods and not cash for an individual you will get the buyer protection. I ask for the invoice to prove it was for goods. I always ask for the invoice as that is proof that it is goods. I also buy a lot off ebay which automatically comes with buyer protection if you pay with paypal. Another option is to open a paypal credit account. You can then pay over time (usually 6 months) without interest. I use paypal credit a lot and then pay it out of my checking account at one time.
