1. You NEVER send anything until you have full payment.
2. There is 0 paypal seller protection for virtual or digital items, you can sell them but at your own risk SO if a buyer wins a dispute for an unauthorised transaction or a chargeback then you would not be reimbursed by paypal as you would have no protection.
Advice is voluntary.
Kudos / Solution appreciated.

Not so fast.
PayPal India:
“Proof of Delivery (for intangible or virtual items or services)” means any compelling evidence to show the purchase order was fulfilled that includes all of the following:
a. The date the item or service was provided;
b. The recipient’s address (email/IP, etc) where applicable.
Now the question is, where is the buyer located as their purchase protection applies:
PayPal Seller Protection is available for eligible payments from PayPal Account holding buyers in any country. If you sell or market to buyers in other countries, you should read the PayPal Buyer Protection policies of the countries in which your target buyers are based (the relevant PayPal Buyer Protection policies are available here) as these policies will apply to you as a Payment Recipient or Seller.
Let's make sure...
Kudos & Solved are greatly appreciated. 🙂
