I have a potentially good deal lined up, however the seller is about a 2 hr drive away and offering to ship to me if I pay via paypal. Would I be protected in this case? i.e. if they just take my money and don't ship can I file a claim and get my $$ back even if it's not through ebay? |
| Polygon:
To put it simply, yes you can. |
| wiggy:
Most likely is the best answer. The protection isn't as great as it would be with eBay, and you must make SURE that the money is sent for goods/services, NOT personal. |
| mojoeskateco:
So make sure I specify I'm buying goods? Kind of like when I buy off NintendoAge .. i.e. not a gift payment? |
| Polygon:
Correct. If you send it as a gift, PayPal assumes you're sending this to someone you know. Not for something you bought that is being shipped to you. They're not going to be very inclined to help you out if you lied to them and cheated them out of their fees. Make sure you pay for them as goods and that will make sure that isn't an issue. |
