I do not use paypal
Had Paypal up until 2012 or so.
Until my son got scammed out of $1800 for a Ford Supercharger set up he paid for ...but never recieved.
Paypal at the time did little to no investigation as far as im concerned, said seller never recieved payment?
Where did it go? My son worked all summer for that money.
Im sure Paypal has come along way since then, dealing with 3rd party hackers, etc.
I know it was a rare situation, but just my bad luck, I guess.
Personal check,Money order, or chase quickpay for me.
I had one PayPal incident, interesting enough with a person here at FABO.
I sold and shipped exactly what was discussed and what was listed in the FABO
for sale ad. The Buyer after receiving the part, opened a claim with PayPal saying that
an extra part, something that I had listed in a completely separate FABO ad should have been included
with the part he purchased. PayPal immediately put a hold on the money that he had paid into my PayPal account
and the on line PayPal dispute web site said the claim had been settled in the Buyers favor.
I then submitted scanned copies of the two separate for sale ads as well as copies of the FABO messages where
the Buyer and I had discussed both parts and selling price of each part, but the money I had received was the price for one part so I was
only sending the one part that was paid for...I had clearly laid that out in a personal message to the seller prior to shipment. I had received an affirmative response from the Buyer and had saved that PM with the others.
In about two days PayPal reversed the decision, released the funds and that was the last I ever heard about it.
So it is helpful to have copies of the ad, photos of the parts, copies of any correspondence. There are folks out there that will just try to pull something.
But seriously out of the possibly hundreds of transactions that was the only one where there was an issue.
