Squaretrade offers purchase protection plans???? Thats new on me. Iv'e used squaretrade once or twice before on ebay, but have never heard of this. Squaretrade is far as I know just handles problem. Does he mean use a brokering company? I would. Basically its a middle party, that holds your money until you get your part. Off course they make something on it.
