Seller ants my credit card info

PayPal might protect you but I would do some research first.  I would also call my credit card company and ask them about the same.  As a consumer you have 60 days to dispute a charge on your credit card so you also may be protected that way also.

You cheat um your way I'll cheat um' mine.. :-) Actually..

Not only do you never give anyone but a *verified* dealer your credit card number. You should only use PayPal and pay from a credit card which you feel will back you up in case you need to dispute the charge. To me, Amex is the best hands down. It depends on how good your intuition is and if it is going off. For me, if not so much I may use VISA within PayPal. If I am a smidge concerned. But not enough to cancel the deal, then I use Amex within PayPal. 

Absolutely, positively DO NOT GIVE YOUR CARD INFORMATION TO THAT SELLER IF THAT SELLER IS NOT A DEALER.  

Think it through....  What is that seller going to do with that card info since he isn't a dealer?  He has no way to process the card or get paid for the transaction.  What to stop that individual, or group, or criminal organization go on a shopping spree at an online jewelry store for things they can easily fence.  They just camp out in front of your home and pick up the orders.  You won't know until you get your credit card bill.  

(Disclosure: I worked for one of the two major credit card organizations for over 20 years, mostly in the security and risk division.)  

If he was Maggie owner I give to him but Raidho guy never be trusted. But he selling so maybe he reformed bad guy.
