Stevo985 Posted March 12, 2014 VT Supporter Share Posted March 12, 2014 Is the moral of the story: use PayPal? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seat68 Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 There is so much that could have gone wrong with that story I'm afraid Shaggy. Stopping auction early, not going through paypal. 4 feedback. You are a very very trusting soul. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dAVe80 Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 I've never brought or sold anything on eBay. All I ever seem to hear is stories of shit that goes wrong. I'm sure 99% of the time it's fine, but I just don't want to take the risk. I'd rather pay a little bit extra for piece of mind. Plus if someone is selling something that cost £100 for £10, then there's almost certainly a horrible catch. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seat68 Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 Hopefully though you will get some address, can you recall any details, the persons user name/location, potentially any email address. Lets track this swine down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use it all the time, and if someone tries to fleece you Paypal always give you a refund (as long as it's within 45 days I think) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GarethRDR Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 Whenever/wherever you get the option to pay through PayPal, be it through eBay or any other website that offers it, you should. Their default stance on any disputed transaction raised as a case and escalated within 45 days of purchase is to side with the buyer, so as long as you ensure you raise and escalate within that timeframe you're well protected. Also some basic tenets of safe online/eBay shopping; if you're desperate enough to pay for an auction outside of eBay, you can (and should) still use PayPal, plus I would never pay for anything via bank transfer that wasn't from an actual bricks-and-mortar business, not ever. Credit Card maybe, at least then you can do a chargeback but it's still easier and safer to use PayPal's protection. You have my sympathies shaggy, but you're a victim of your own naivety I'm afraid. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted March 12, 2014 VT Supporter Share Posted March 12, 2014 Also, are Paypal "money grabbing"? Granted I've only ever used them as a buyer, but I've never had to pay them a penny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rjw63 Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 Yeah if you're a seller you lose a percentage to Paypal and a percentage to eBay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GarethRDR Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 Also PayPal can be a nightmare for legitimate sellers in the event of disputes. If a dodgy buyer's hell-bent on screwing you out of money, there's not much you can do. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dAVe80 Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 I've never really got the Band hate. I've always found him to be a funny comedian, and an intelligent, likeable guy. His views on voting are pretty ridiculous, but that's for another thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
