And ate the fee there as well

That's true, but does PP still protect you if you use PPFF with a CC?

It doesnt protect you buying gun parts no matter what you do, but the answer to your question is yes it doesnt matter if its a credit card, debit card or bank draft its the same except the time it takes to transact

The feedback system provides ongoing, active records of pro/con feedback.

If a "complaint" is verified, and a buyer/seller does something bad, they are banned from the site immediately and permanently. So I'm not sure about the purpose of a separate "complaint" thread.

When someone does something bad, and that is confirmed, they are history.

OR, QUIT USING Pay Pal, how many of the problems listed above and in other threads would have been eliminated by putting down the dingle berry's and maxi pads, gotten up from your p/c desk and went to the PO and got a USPS M/O ??????

USPS money orders aren't the answer. They get cashed and to you still don't get your items. How's that better. Makes YOU feel better at first but once the fraudulent seller cashes the MO and DON'T send you the item, suddenly your not feeling so good. Oh, but at least you didn't get screwed going the Paypal route. There's no way to protect yourself from this stuff if someone really wants to screw you other than PayPal goods and services and paying the 3% for your money to be protected. Suddenly that 3% don't seem too bad once you've sent the money order and no product has been shipped to you. Who's protecting your money order and refunding the purchase of it ?

I've bought gun related accessories off of eBay numerous times and never had an issue paying for them with PP and having the transaction thwarted because it was gun stuff.

FWIW it's dingleberries!

Sorry Big Daddy but the sender pays the fee for “friends and family”. I’ve paid it a few times.

I have never paid a fee for f&f, never. So something is wrong here. I've used it several times (30-50?)

Heres one from today. 3% fee on f&f. Ive never got out of it. He will get his exact $22

You used a credit card/debit card, to avoid this transfer money to pp and then use it, no fees or use your bank account, no fees.

He apparently did not want the receiving party to absorb the fee so he ate it. I wish more buyers were so considerate.

 

[pirate ammo]

I get fingerpaint and crayons for payment,I don't worry about no stinking fees.

If you buy something from a guy who wants $100 for it he wants $100 not $97

If you look at my post and do it there are no fee for either party.

I just tried and I can't transfer funds from a CC to my PP account. Transfer from a bank account takes several days. The other person wanted the funds transferred to the seller immediately so he used a CC and ate the fee.

I've been with PP for over a decade +, and have over 3900 positive feedback (with about 50% reporting) so I've used it a couple of times LOL

Ya pretty easy the add 3% to the asking price if you do get the charge because your not tied to an account number. I'm tied to a debit card account so no charge. Makes it nice...and easy. When I do goods and services, I just add 3% and send that total.

Im tied to debit cards, checking acct, credit cards everything.

I'm pretty confident and feel safe with ONLY PayPal. My checking and debit account are both used with PayPal. I still don't keep alot of money in that checking account just as a safety measure till I do a transaction then I transfer what I need to send out. Haven't regretted it yet. Been doing it for years this way. Only time I got ripped off was when I sent F&F funds for an item and the seller was a thief and never sent me the item. The funds weren't protected and I lost 90.00. Today I only do Goods & Services if a member doesn't have lots of history or only has little feedback. F&F is my preference.

The safest purchase you can make is on Amazon followed closely by Ebay. The buyer is always right. Everything is tracked. Ebay now takes credit cards.

I used to sell and buy a lot of stuff online. Still do get some things. If I sell something it does not leave my house until I have cash in my hand, period end of story. You can solve a lot of problems by saying some things up front, like NO PARTIAL REFUNDS...you buy it, you don't like it or have a problem you send it back on your dime for a full refund if it's in the same condition as when it left.
The one thing I will never understand is why a bunch of gun guys patronize paypal to begin with????? They are the most gun hating, communist, liberal, tree hugging, lying, libtard, left wing, communist, progressive democrats alive!!! They want nothing more than to see all guns, knives, weapons, ammo, bullets, scopes, and the second amendment {in short everything we love} to evaporate...right now...So why does everyone continue to deal with them????? They charge to get money, they charge to send money and they will jack it right back from you if some buyer bawls about it. That B.S. about not getting charged for F&F....they charge you when you take the money out of paypal and they send you a check. You are paying it one way or another. The only free ride is if you leave the money in there and keep on dealing with other paypal libtards. Someone posted that money orders don't solve anything...they solve paypal!!!!
