Question about using Paypal for overseas transactions

[Billmanweh]

Selling from the U.S. and shipping out of the country, are there certain countries where you are offered seller's protection and some that aren't? Is there any kind of list?

Sellers protection?
Hi, I'm from the UK and use paypal to buy internationally all the time. I don't think there is seller protection with paypal anywhere. You get paid before sending the goods. Where do you need protecting? I haven't had any real problems using paypal internationally, It seems to work a treat.
