WARNING: Read First Before Purchasing For Sale Items

White99stang · August 11th, 2007, 12:14 AM

If you haven't read this then don't come to us wanting us to do things if you get screwed. Here is the deal, there is alot of people there are out to screw people and there is only one way to purchase items from somebody without getting screwed. That is to use paypal. If you don't have an account then get one and if they seller doesn't have an account and you don't know them personally then don't purchase the items cause if you don't get your items there isn't much you can do about it but bitch and moan. SO LISTEN UP ALL YOU YOUNGER GUYS, USE PAYPAL, USE YOUR PARENTS PAYPAL WITH THERE PERMISSION, AND IF YOUR SELLER DOESN'T HAVE PAYPAL THEN I GUESS THAT PERSON DOESN'T WANT THERE ITEMS SOLD.

good advice/sticky.. hopefully ppl will pay attn to it lol

JRuckas · August 11th, 2007, 01:49 AM

good sticky! like white has stated, the only secure way to buy things from people off the internet is to use PAYPAL!!!!

USE IT!

TurboLX · August 11th, 2007, 02:14 AM

www.PayPal.com

Smoothgrandmama · August 11th, 2007, 03:52 AM

Wait Who's been getting screwed and by whom?

ChrisJ · August 11th, 2007, 10:40 AM

There have been a rash of people...

Use paypal unless you knwo the person...

Paypal is the only way i will do business...

Tony_90fox · August 11th, 2007, 12:46 PM

USPS money order is good too...Because you can be dealing with mail fraud if you get screwed...Just an idea...Dont get the crappy money gram money orders, get a USPSmoney order or PAYPAL.

gills99stang · August 16th, 2007, 06:59 PM

Hell, if I bought a higher-priced item from someone on here, then I would have them throw it on Ebay and reimburse them for the small fee of posting it. That way you are covered through PayPal and Ebay.

SWEET2KSTANG · August 19th, 2007, 02:44 AM

what about a feedback stickey for buyers and sellers?

Hey Mods & Admin,
Is there a way we could divide the classifieds between years?
such as for the classic, fox, sn-95, new edge, and s197's?
I believe that would be SO much easier to search for parts for sale/trade/wanted.
that way, you arent always clicking on something that doesnt fit yours, and theres not as much stuff that wont fit your application in the way of finding the parts you need.

Thanks!

+100

That would be hot. A bit more involved on the mods part and more work, but if found feasible, it would help alot.

Also + 1 on the USPS Money Order...dont f'k with Uncle Sam! Far more secure than a Wester Union Money Order! An paypal flat our owns all!

Modern_Muscle · December 1st, 2007, 09:16 AM

it wouldnt be very much work on their part, only for what is here now.
just in the future, everyone would post in their specific sections.

just a wee bit of warning about paypal (as great as it truly is)

I got ripped for $20 and I reported the user. After 2 months of deliberation on pp's part, they decided I won the case but could not reimburse me due to the fact that the user had emptied his account.

Just food for thought.. I agree with gill, use ebay if at all possible.

MMP, Inc. · January 20th, 2008, 03:19 AM

Suggestion....does this forum have a trader rating set up yet? Another suggestion to newbies is always ask for a picture before shipment to make sure it matches up with what you receive. We are always hearing how people get something other than described by the seller looking to unload whatever they are selling!

Wazzzy · January 28th, 2008, 04:52 PM

i think it would be wise to advise both the seller and buyers in this forum that MM is not at all responsible for any transaction between the two parties. MM is acting as a 'middle man' to post items for sale.

sure us older folk understand, but it should be known to all.

just my thoughts

96GTRagTop · January 28th, 2008, 04:53 PM

i beleive there already is something like that posted

Code:

we have it covered in the classifieds subforum description. good call though. we only enable the acts of commerce; we do not endorse it.

prodrifterx · February 4th, 2008, 10:01 PM

curiosity how does COD work?

my mom has paypal. she wishes i do not use hers, and i will set one up once i get a credit card that isnt linked to my main bank account, thus is COD a good option or wait to sell untill i have paypal setup? also how does it work on a sellers end....if its a credit card thats on the paypal account, how does one receive that money?

any info would be great. i ask because i have a complete set of pi heads/mgw shifter/headlights.
