ziper06 and others. This can and will happen to you if you sell. As for them taking back money they only can if something is in the account. So you who think pal pal is safe, it is for actual people selling real items. If someone want to steal your cash then pal pay is the best bet. Like stated above, only a small refund.
I sold a guy parts on ebay and he got the part and then claimed fraud. I won, why because I had all the emails and tracking number and proof he got the item. My money was held up for 45 days. Now that is a long time not knowing if your going to get your cash.
I see a number of people talking about UPS and C.O.D. I don't use ups I do truck shipping. Check the rate out sometime you will see why I do. Look at how you class a item. Car parts are way less then if you say rims and new stuff. Class it as used car PARTS.
The front frame weighed 200 pounds and the shipping was $112.00 and was at the dock in 2 days.
All I am saying is don't just give these a$$holes your hard earned money. I hate to see people lose thousands of dollars because of trying to save a few bucks.
I just completed a case in NC where a young lady took someone elses name and conducted fraud to the tune of $69,000.00 dollars. This was her 3rd time. Yes 3rd time and she got 30 months in jail. She made out, that equals $2,300.00 a month.
If you think you will ever get you money back you are dreaming. Some people get lucky... I helped a few. 99% of the time they go to jail and you get a paper that says if they ever have money you will get some. Well stand in line because these people also do not pay tax. IRS is first in line.
I would like to state a post that asked for people to post if they ever got back money lost in a scam and how much did they get back. It's a wake up call people.
