This protects the seller, but not the buyer.

As a general rule, shipping companies don't allow the 
receiver to inspect a package before paying for it.

In the case of a computer you could receive a case,
but no CPU, hard drive and RAM.  What do you
do then?

The research I am working on has to do with ways of 
protecting both parties from fraud.  The goal is to find 
ways of enhancing the use of the net for private transactions.
