I posted something in another thread where a member was scammed. Do NOT pay as a gift. You lose your protection from paypal if you do. Its not worth it to save the extra 3-4 dollars when this situation comes up. Chalk it up as a lesson learned.

 

yea i guess so! i always trusted people so easily on the forums.

 

im going to go to my bank tomorrow and file fraud report.

 

what is your bank?

 

a credit union why

 

best thing to do is look at research about the person number of posts what kind of posts. and if you feel weird about a person try to get another member from his area to do you a favor and check out the part your'e buying i mean if someone from cali asked me to check out something here in chicago i would be more then willing as im sure many others will, thats why this is a great community of drivers/owners and we like it that way

 

Can i report you for wanting to buy my trunk lid and then no longer wanting it?????

 

First off, do not go to your bank first that will mess things up with paypal. If you go to your bank first and get your money back (which you can easily), you will get a negative balance in your paypal account saying you owe them money. This is after you receive your money back through the bank. Reason being is because you used their service and they have a claim policy.

You see the bank will get your money back and then paypal will try to take it back from the bank, but the bank is going to file an inquiry. So paypal is going to leave you a negative balance saying you owe them the money back and the correct way to do it is to contact paypal first as they have a claim policy. If you dont your are going to end up resending your money through paypal again.

First you try contacting the seller as many times as possible. If that doesn't work out.
GO TO PAYPAL FIRST. file a dispute, you have 45 days to do this. After the 45 days are up you are screwed.

 

^hahahaha called out!

 

I pay as gift when it's something under $30 or so. Anything over that amount, I send in the form of goods. I just don't see the point of getting protected on low-ticket items.

Some people have actually sent through PP as gift on big-ticket items like guitars, wheels, and turbo kits anywhere from $1000 to $3000, got screwed, and expect the community to do something about it.

Paypal has boundaries, regulations, and policies in place for your protection, so just go ahead and use them. FYI, every time I've filed a claim against someone, I've received the full amount (3/3 times). Just don't wait too long to file a claim and provide all the details.

 

damn jatt sorry to hear that a member ripped you off. i hope you get everything settled with paypal or your bank
