I need to pay someone for a service. I don't know this person nor the business. It's not local. How can I best protect myself in case of something going wrong?

Credit Card - because the credit card company usually offers some buyer protection programs.

Credit card with good buyer protection (Amex), or PayPal. PayPal takes a little longer to resolve disputes though...

If you use PayPal, make sure to use goods and services not friends or family otherwise you will have a harder time fighting for your money back.

I'd never pay cash! It means if something is not up to par, I never see my money back! Besides, I ain't mailing cash.

Cc or paypal. The nice thing about PayPal is the person doesn't even have ur cc numbers so can't overcharge u
