checking out seller and paying by paypal

that's wrong. If you are using paypal, the payment is from your CC to paypal, who then deal with the funds on their end. your CC Company, as far as they are concerned, have had a successful transaction, and whatever paypal then do, is between you and paypal.
Use an escrow service.

Maybe it has changed now?
Last year I paid for services through Paypal via my credit card. I never got what I paid for and I contacted my card company to do a chargeback (I didn't bother contacting Paypal as I know what they are like). 5 weeks later I received a full refund on my statement.

be careful
Hi,
be careful with cc companies. some are good , some not. they all give you money straight back if fraudulently used, they have to. it makes a nonsense of that cover people pay, as you are covered for that anyway.
however, if you authorise something & it's not fraud, just shite, then you may have problems.
example is if you buy something in a shop & a problem or not happy, normally you get money back anyway. if individual, different story.
if on here & for small sums or you know them really well, then i would say paypal or cheque. for a stranger & a decent amount...... split escrow costs. it could save you a few sleepless nights!

You've got your answer. (and so do I for hassle free oversea transactions!)
Go with escrow. I learnt here on Sunday that Sedo.co.uk do an escrow for a very reasonable 3% of total purchase price.

If you split the costs it will be less than a tenner.
