cornkid Offline Upload & Sell: Off p.1 #1 · PayPal Security I am in the process of buying a camera and lens from someone, paying using PayPal. If this person does not send the camera, is there any way of recovering the money? Any past experiences? Tom Dec 01, 2008 at 02:57 AM

BenV Offline Dedicated FM Upload & Sell: Off p.1 #2 · PayPal Security They can guarentee up to $200. If you notice something fishy, file a claim ASAP. I've been screwed over 2 times so far. I bought an XTI for $500, I lost $300 on the deal. And to me (a college student living on his own making $12 an hour in South Florida) thats ALOT of money. Dec 01, 2008 at 03:06 AM

cornkid Offline Upload & Sell: Off p.1 #3 · PayPal Security I am a college student as well, and wish to be safe about this interaction. Is it ridiculous to send 1/2 the money, then the other 1/2 after receiving said product? I think it's fair... Tom Dec 01, 2008 at 03:29 AM

polarbare Offline Upload & Sell: Off p.1 #4 · PayPal Security almost no one is going to let you do that. use a credit card w/ paypal and you're covered by your card as well. Dec 01, 2008 at 04:01 AM

Well, usually you would send the money before the seller ships the product. Dec 01, 2008 at 06:03 PM

Matt Leitholt Offline Dedicated FM Upload & Sell: On p.1 #7 · PayPal Security Trust is the key thing here. Most people here on FM are trustworthy if they have good feedback. Although there may be some dishonest people here, there are very few if any. Just make sure the person has a good reputation before buying. I made a $1k transaction with a fellow who didn't have any feedback, he gave me his phone number and I talked to him on the phone and was comfortable buying from him, just trust your instinct, it was one of the best transactions I've had.

DocsPics Offline Upload & Sell: On p.1 #8 · PayPal Security I volunteer to be the middle man. Buyer sends me the money and seller sends me the product....then I decide what's best to do Dec 02, 2008 at 03:56 AM
