Transferring money across the ditch

[Marishka]

i never part with goods till their paid for and cleared and the money is in my account.

ebay charge $30 for the sale of a boat or car, and paypal take a persentsentage % so beware of ebay and paypal

ive been ripped off a few times with paypal.

the last ebayer to pay me for 2 lousy bedford door handles opened a paypal dispute because the handles never got to tasmania within 3 days.
so then paypal put my paypal account on debt hold for a lousy dam $15 set of door handles.
ive blocked this ebayer from ever bidding on my things again
i dont want those kinda  people bidding on my things
stuff paypal i say, and the next buyer that wants to pay by paypal can incur the damn charges.
im going to state that in my adds and if ebay dont like it they can get
f#$%d 2.

check it out jeff.. they have tried it twice on me now!!!


the 2 times they tried it on me they were almost identicle emails i recieved?? they are not very creative? if i was scaming id at least mix it up and make it interesting.. or make it sound like a real buyer.

but palpay works both ways i only pay with it now days i did a bank transfer on ebay once and never got what i ordered and no chance off getting my money back but with palpay no worries

[ben]

yes i agree its more secure for the buyer.

i had 2 make a claim through paypal once and they refunded the item cost but not the postage cost,
and the postage cost was $28
so i wasnt very happy.

Well I emailed "fred" that I would only accept cash on pickup and suggested that his "shipping agents" could bring this when they "come to my door step" but almost instantainley recieved a return email stating he was a "busy man and was on the sea and and couldn't get money to his shipping agents" and strongly advised me to use pay pal.

I am very convinced this is con, so I intend to alert the authorities and the AA whose site it is listed on so they can keep an eye out for other people being contacted by this scammer and warn people or even prevent them from making contact with their customers through their site.

Will let you know if I ever hear back from the scammer again.

Cheers Jeff
