Hey girls,
Thank you for this post! I have been using Paypal for quite sometime now for buying/selling on ebay. Although i have not ran into any problems yet this is very informing for future transactions. I suppose and understand why some of you who i have offered to purchase items via paypal (b/c i live in sk) did not feel comfortable doing this. I, like shopforcheap, was confused as well.. thinking I would be the one taking the risk b/c I would make a payment and the seller wouldnt actually send the item. But I totally understand now and I too will be much more cautious with these transactions.
Funny thing is I would have almost gotten scammed by DTP as well. She pm`d to buy some stuff and offered to pay paypal. I didn`t question it b/c I was asking to be paid with that (again b/c i live in sk and cannot meet up). I messaged her back but for some reason it wasn't allowing me to send her pm's so on my selling forum i actually posted a message saying something like "dtp i received your pms but i cannot message you back" haha. Thank goodness... I assume that her account was already banned!
