Is there a way someone could get screwed? Im selling something and a buyer seems way to eager and is not even trying to negotiate price. I think somethings up. Is there a way to make sure Im not getting scammed?

I always deal with USPS money orders...Dealing with mail fraud if you fuck around and scam somebody with the USPS

[GreenFaleen]

if he sends the money to your paypal before you ship no.

Yeah, but money orders usually take to long.

That's what I was thinking but was unsure.

Thanks Guys.

[Tony_90fox]

yeah if he puts that shit in your account first, i'd say its a deal...

[GreenFaleen]

cause you cant take money back on pay pal now if he says you ship and he will send money after he receives item stay away

Make sure you get signature confirmation in case he tries to say he didn't get it.

yes, you can get screwed. Ive been there, done that and got the Tshirt.

I will NEVER use paypal again.

make sure he sends it to your actual paypal account. go to www.paypal.com and type in your username and password to check for yourself. sometimes they will send you emails saying that the money has been transferred to your account, but it wont actually be IN your account until you provide them with proof of you shipping the item. that would be a scam

make sure you can transfer it in to your personal checking account before you send it off

paypal is very secure and ive never heard about scams on it. Ive been screwed before on ebay before ONLY cause ebay favors the buyer, NOT the seller. I sent someone something USPS and they say they didnt get it so i had to refund their money. How beat is that.

thats why you charge extra and automatically insure it for your sake

[shadow5403]

yeah well i didnt think someone would actually be an asshole and pull something like that. Why should i insure a damn foam padded envelope? You cant trust anyone anymore. I would have done the same thing tho if the situation was reversed...

i use paypal lots...its pretty secure .

[whiteboycustom]

ive had good transactions with paypal......if a problem comes up open a dispute and only contact the other party via paypal, that way paypal has proof u contacted him and to show he contacted u back, the best thing when u ship items is get a tracking number and give it to him and double check it to make sure its right,a adult signature required is always a plus

ive bought items with a money order but i was told u cant insure them when u ship ups.....so i sent it on usps and there tracking systems just sucks

it's only secure until YOU have a problem

Its funny this gets brought up now. About a month ago I bought a dry jacket ( rubber gasketed jacket for kayaking in cold water ) for $295. Well I paid for it within 10 mins of the auction ending, recieved my jacket in the mail a week later, was very happy with it. Well five days ago I balancing my bank account/check book and paying bills. For some odd reason the $295 was refunded to me. It said on paypal that it was refunded by the seller... No contact from the seller... Thanks guy. I got a free $500 jacket.
