Yeah I have all ways used Paypal.com but for some reason it wouldnt let me send 1600.00 thru it. So I had sent him a Casheirs check and boy am I bummed. I checked his feedback like I have all ways done in the past, they have 100% and over 200 feedback posted. I dont know but if he wants to keep that record he better refund me at least 700.00 or either way I will leave feedback.

 

Purchased and sold many things through eBay. However the only high dollar item I purchased was in the same state I live in. I arranged to meet with the seller at a place of their choosing. I looked over the item accepted and gave them cash.

Hopefully I will continue to have good luck on eBay.

 

Paypal is not all it is cracked up to be. Many people have been taken on Ebay using paypal, and Paypal says there is nothing they can do about it. Escrow is better, but you have to make sure it is a legit site. Good luck man, I hope this guy makes it right!


Paypal sucks

 

Yes I have encountered this same situation but then I go thru the Credit Card and then Paypal does something about it. Thats why I never leave a balance in my Paypal account so I will be double covered. Just thought I had my six on this.

 

i've only made 2 buys on ebay but both went great. i was shopping for a snowmobile on there too but i was only looking at sleds close enough to go look at if i was interested, never found one. i sold a snowmobile on ebay and drove 3 hours one way to meet the guy who bought it, then he paid cash. it worked out fine. you can be careful and check everything out and still get burned, that really sucks. i guess it's buyer beware! sorry to hear about your troubles.

 

biggerisbetter, paypal will only cover up to 500.00, but if you use your credit card, you can dispute charges through them. I'm with raptor owner as far as leaving a zero balance in my paypal account.

 

i will only buy something off ebay if its in my state where i can go and get the guy if he tries to rip me off.

 

The bad thing about reporting it to Ebay is that they might slap their wrist, but I think all the seller would have to do is start a new account with a different name they are good to go..
