discuss Will you pay $300 to buy a domain from a new account here

PayPal - Buyer is protected, a seller is not. You can always put a dispute and get your money back if you pay for something. If you send $ as a gift, in that case, you can not get money back. But if you afraid you can ask the seller to push the domain to your account first.

I will if I get the domain first. And it's not stolen.

that's assuming the name is not stolen and is actually his (you never know)

always give caution to new members with no track record and are in a hurry and will only accept one payment type.

I would not. Only escrow. Or i would ask some reputable member here to be a guarantor, once he sees the domain is in your account he tells you okay to push the domain. This way the seller is also protected. On blackhat forums this form of deals has been practicing a lot.

According to paypal's TOS:
The following are examples of items/transactions not eligible for PayPal Seller Protection:

Intangible items, including Digital Goods and services.

I think this includes domains.

The seller have a new registered account and have 0 trade on namepros, he insist using paypal and refuse to use escrow since he cant waste any more time over $300.
I hear that if you use paypal to buy a domain, it is impossible to get the money back if the seller do not give you domain.
Will you pay him using paypal?

I'm new to this website and domaining in General. I have yet to make a sell of any kind. That said, I understand that I am new and have no credibility built up in the domain community or reason to be trusted. Due to that, I understand that any potential sell I make, I will need to use an escrow service. I would work with the buyer on the exact terms of the deal. I would be willing to use any reputable website for the transaction so long as the fees of the website were reasonable or paid for by the buyer. I would also likely ask on the forum about the website and the terms, just to make sure I'm doing things correctly and not being taken advantage of.

If the Seller can not understand that he does not have a reputation yet and that he needs to earn one. Then I personally would shy away from the deal.

I wouldn't buy a domain from a new member for $300 via paypal, because they have no track record, and you will not be protected. PayPal will not refund your money. I don't buy the argument they are using for not using Escrow.com if you are paying the fees. I would walk from this transaction if he won't use Escrow.com

In PayPal the buyer is always right by default.

Use https://www.payoneer.com/escrow/
Smooth and fast escrow.

I would make them push the domain first if that is your concern.

Yes, optimal solution if not stolen domain.

When I had no feedback score, I gladly used to send the domains first.

Even today if the buyer is not convinced and has much much more feedback score than me, I ask for part payment. I apply same rule when I buy, that I will send part payment depending on the feedback score of the seller.

I guess this should be norm here at namepros

I think you cannot dispute digital/virtual goods purchases on Paypal.

Only goods that are supposed to be physically delivered to an address can be disputed.

Correct me if I am wrong.

Lol. You were pretty quick to do that.

Only use paypal with people you trust or who has good ratings overtime.

You should pay escrow fee

PayPal should be a safe option. If he does not send the domain, just chargeback and you will get your money back.

Best of luck!

use sedo
pay the 3% yourself

PayPal will refund your money back for digital goods. You just need to prove that op did not satisfy their end of the deal. Need proof of email and or private message.
Definitely based on how present your evidence but you will have to wait awhile.
