> as long as the person your buying from is legit then paypal is fine. just make sure you kinda look into who your buying from before you send the money. thats how i’ve been going about it, no probs so far _knocks on wood_

Agreed. Taking a check, paypal, or credit card payment from someone shady or a shady business can get you in trouble. Don’t buy from random people/places online at ebay etc. and you can avoid this. There’s always the BBB to go after people and check for scammers in advance.

> i usually have few problems, but in one instance, someone was supposed to ship me $300 in parts and only sent $150 worth of parts, but since i received a package from him, he wasn’t liable for the rest of the money according to paypal :gay3:

yep, same thing happened to my buddy tom (boosted3g)

the guy left the 16g turbo AND the greddy type-s BOV out of the package … no way we could do anything about it

and now toms account is locked for like 8 months because he sold some items and paypal requested a purchase invoice for them, they wanted to know where he was getting his items to sell

the ebay/paypal system is great for ripping people off right now …

Looks like paypal aint giving back my money. I’d followed their step to resolve the matter. It’s not working. How can i sue them ? if i go through small claims court i would have to sue where their HQ is right ?
