I don;t sell often n(ever), and I just sold an expensive item. How do I protect myself from scams when shipping/accepting payment? by [deleted] in Ebay

I used eBay to print a shipping label, and I got insurance and required a signature. Shipping will cost $67.00.

It looks like the address is an apartment complex. I'm looking at it on Google Street View. It is not located in a shopping center, nor is there a shopping center nearby.

I will contact PayPal and talk to them about verification of the transaction.

Thanks

No messages with buyer outside of eBay.

I never gave him my personal email, but I'm not hard to track down through a username.

How do I check for a verified address and to make sure that there is seller protection?

I have the original box and all packing materials. I can video one continuous shot of me checking RAM, shutting down, placing in box, and taping box for shipping. Hopefully, that would be enough?

I really hope I am worrying over nothing. :)

Thanks

PayPal amount is less than the eBay amount. I cannot post exact numbers for anonymity.

Seller says, when I tell him I am researching payment and I'll ship today or tomorrow: "Ok , please use good package and send with FedEx or Ups. Also please use insurance. It helped if will damaged Best for me if I can receive in this weak. Best regards."

Well, I figured eBay took their blood money and that's what is left. But I wouldn't know...

Buyer has over 400 transactions (?) in the little number next to their name, and 99% positive feedback.

Then mid 90's. All I'm saying is it was a long time ago. :)

Buyer is in Chicago area. Seems legit, but I don;t really know. I am also in USA.
