I always wait until I receive the money then ship. However, a new game is being employed. I was selling some of DGD Wii games. The young man paypaled me. Two days later he turned me in to Ebay that I had not sent his stuff. MD to CA in one day, really. Then he goes thru Paypal and they refund him from my account. PO shows he received the games. I am out games and money and a black spot on my Ebay account. So ship with signed receipt after you rec. the money.
