I want to buy some wheels from someone in another country. How do I make this purchase and also be protected from a scam?

Hello @rnld66

Thanks for stopping by the PayPal Community Forum, and welcome! 

I understand you'd like to learn how to use PayPal to make a purchase that's protected by Buyer Protection. I'm happy to help guide you through the process. When you want to purchase an item or service, you want to ensure you always mark it as a Goods and Services payment. This will enable your Buyer Protection. If it's sent as a Friends and Family transaction, you will not have the option to file a dispute later if you don't receive the wheels or if they arrive significantly different from what was described. I have included a few hyperlinks to our Help Center for more information about purchasing using PayPal's Buyer Protection Policy. 

I hope this information helps you feel secure in your purchase!
