' ' If shipping anything anywhere by any means wherein the money was collected through PayPal, be prepared to lose both your gear and your money, especially if using a shipper PayPal doesn't like.
PayPal has some really nasty fine print in their terms of service, recently renamed something else for self-justifying purposes. Basically, PayPal does what they want and they move funds around from buyer to seller and back again at their whim. At a minimum use a shipper that offers online tracking and real adult ID signature delivery confirmation. At a minimum insure the package yourself for full replacement value regardless of what the buyer pays for. Take verifiable photos of everything in the package and the package itself to show condition before shipping. Keep your description accurate and simple so there can be no claim of "not as advertised."
