   For it to be insured via pay pal, the address of the buy needs to be   
   confirmed.  I'd not take any foreign country addresses or US PO   
   Boxes... and make sure it's been confirmed more than onces by Ebay/Pay   
   Pal (it'll tell you if they have a confirmed address).  Also, if they   
   pay by credit card rather than bank account that might be some help   
   too as you can go to your company if something goes amiss.  And when   
   you mail it, make sure you make them pay for insurance (and even if   
   they don't, you insure it).  You could have a witness verify you   
   packed the item too (take a photo and get a sworn statement   
   notorized)... don't know if that'll help but part of the scam is   
   people are sending "fake" packages; empty... or claiming YOU sent an   
   empty one.
