Wiring money is very risky. There's almost no protection if something goes wrong. Its not something that can be undone.

Truly sad, but don't assume PayPal will cover you. I got ripped off by someone a few years back and used PayPal. When I contacted them they said the payee had already removed the money from the account so they couldn't do anything. I don't know if the policy has changed but I don't trust PayPal that much!"
I can definitely confirm that one, too. "We don't know what happened. We just know that its not our fault. Thank you for calling PayPal. Our goal today was to provide an exceptional customer service experience. Have we met our goal?". Sound familiar?
Its situations like this, its always better to use someone elses money, like a credit card. For some reason, they seem to do a more thorough investigation when something goes wrong. I wonder why?
