Use personal payment instead.

He lives in India where there is no option for personal payment

Use a trusted middle man, if you don't want to go first.

Pretty sure PP gives protection now for digital goods.

Also OP friends and family can be charged back as well. Don't be mistaken.

If it's a big sum why not ask for a bank transfer? It's the best way in my opinion.
If you are however adamant on using PP, than perhaps your best option would be sending an invoice with conditions in it and if he accepts it he can't refund, BUT if he is a scammer there is always the chance that he might do an unauthorized charge.

I sold digital goods for a few months last year and I talked to PayPal about it and if the buyer files an "Item not received" complaint you have no chance of winning the case. I agree though, you would be much better off using a bank transfer.

If the seller says their account was hacked, they have a pretty good chance at getting it back if they were the original owner. Not so easy if you're not the original owner. I think they ask for the original email you signed up with.

If it's $500+, use escrow services.
Otherwise it's just a risky situation, that's why you want to be selling multiple accounts if you plan on doing this, not just one.

In your opinion what is the best escrow service to sell digital good like IG accounts, that don't cost a fortune and is still safe?
