    No, simply put. Paypal will always always always side with the buyer.

    You must check to see if the members you are conducting business with have good reputation or not. Do a search for previous deals, etc...

    Only deal with Verified Paypal members and avoid unverified members explicitly.

    Deal with verified buyers and reputable members, it's the only way to avoid being scammed without changing payment processors.

    Send the item via post, even if its a virtual product, stick it on a cd-r and send it. That way you can have posting info and you cant get charged back but its a hassle and only worth it for pricey stuff i guess.
