I don't know that I would trust paypal protection exactly. I have used it with Ebay in the past, and while the results were in my favor, it was a general pain in the ass. I do think they tend to err on the side of the customer though. I had a buddy with a business selling telemarketing data and he had to stop using paypal due to the insane amount of chargebacks that were not found in his favor. That said, just use a credit card. If what you buy doesn't arrive or work, Visa and Mastercard are amazing when it comes to fraudulent transactions.

I agree with this. *However*

If you use the credit card as your payment option in PayPal, hypothetically (very hypothetically) you have two layers of buyer protection. I just got off the phone with PayPal- Buyer protections are the same regardless if you pay through the PayPal site or a PayPal invoice. Keep in mind that receiving an invoice directing you to send money to a PayPal email is NOT THE SAME as paying a PayPal invoice.
