I have an idea. Find someone you can trust who lives fairly near you and willing to help. Then when someone untrusted buys a laser mail it to the middleman instead and have them then mail the laser to the buyer. That way the laser is put on tracking as sent and if a scammer reverses the payment while in transit to your middleman your only loss is shipping. The main cost to this method is you need a partner and your shipping costs will go up to buyers you are unsure of. You obviously wouldn't use the relay method for a buyer with massive rep but this way you can be way more secure with the little scamming dirt bags
Think of it as a "secured" shipping method and charge accordingly for the extra shipping costs and for payment to your middleman. Bam, good bye scammers.
Just a little idea of mine, might be more work than its worth idk.
Not sure this would work. What happens when the buyer sees the tracking number as delivered and files a dispute with PayPal? (After the middle man has already shipped the product on)
Couldn't he still end up with the product and PayPal will refund his money? After all you didn't ship it to his verified address on file with PayPal.
