Paying with PayPal - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Agent 13 · 02-06-2004, 01:12 PM

I used to think that it was quite safe to buy videos through PayPal, but now I'm seriously wondering if that's the case.

Pam Maples uses PayPal to rip people off, but if I'm not mistaken, doesn't PayPal claim that they will not refund when dealing with bootlegs? Someone help me out here...

Also, let me say this again... just because someone has a large have list, does not mean that they're reputable. Beware, folks. Let's not be among the victims of these con artists. Follow Safe Trading Tips before sending any money or paying with PayPal.

Thanks

Someone contacted me with her PayPal experiences in dealing with bad traders. This is what worked for her when she encountered a bad trader and won:

Purchased "buyer protection"
Entered the name of the show she was paying for in her payment
Filed a claim with PayPal at least 20 days after payment was made.

PayPal refunded her money within one hour of her claim.

When dealing with snakes, don't be prepared to get bitten. Know how to work the ropes in your favor and put these thieves out of business.
