legit seller

Sup guys always finding good deals on the form but I'm scared to get played. How do you know if the seller is legit and things you should look out before you buy or send the money. I mean the paypal gift thing is out ill never do that unless the goods is in my hands . what other things do you take into consideration before you say yeah I'm going to send the money and actually going by it ? shoot me some feedback guys and girls much appreciated thanks

if you use paypal correctly, you won't get screwed. all that little thing called Trader rating / Feedback score.

let's say you send the money, they never send you an item, you dispute the charge.

let's say they send you an item, but it's not what you agreed to ( aka junk ).. dispute the charge..

I mean.. have you ever read the paypal seller/buyer protection? just once?

Look at the post count and trader rating. I wouldn't ever buy something and not add the 3% pay pal fee, it protects you and if you cant spare the change for the extra 3% then you probably shouldn't be modding your car.

In the sense that Paypal will reimburse you for crappy transactions if you file a report and show the seller jipped you.


There is also the sense of investigating the vendor. Going to their profile, read their previous FS threads, etc. But definitely, the best teller is the feedback on them. Obviously, a new member can be legitimate and have a low feedback score due to them not having a lot of time to build it. But this advice is referring to established vendors on here.

Don't you always get the fee's refunded when there is a dispute / unauthorized transaction / etc?

"ain't nobody got time for dat" -sweet brown .. honestly I'm 1 of the 95 percent who doesn't read those have you read disclosure before proceeding type deal . A lot of people are guilty for it addmit lol .

Good info guys .never be too cautious when dealing with a real person. I mean I bought a lot of stuff on eBay before and to me that's just like dealing with a robot but to deal with up another forum member a real person just cant be to cautious cant trust everything out there.

Checking join Date helps too. I mean it's not guarantee but you know someone has been around for awhile and wouldn't ruin their reputation just to screw somebody.

Reading the paypale protection dont have anything to do with if they are legit seller. Its just reassurance that paypale might help you when they get around to it.

I was referring to people's feedback scores and comments.
