I want to buy something - they've asked for a deposit to hold the item. It's not loads - £50 on a £150 item.
If I set out terms up front (return deposit if I just don't want to buy after seeing the item in the flesh, but keep deposit if I no-show) and I use PayPal full legit with fees payment, I'm covered right? If it's a scam attempt, I can just claim the payment back because goods not received?
