PayPal - Buyer Beware Posted by Scott Paterson [Email] (#13) [Profile/Gallery] (more from Scott Paterson) on Wed, 2 May 2001 22:44:56 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
I really like the convenience of PayPal, but there's something to be said for using credit cards to pay for stuff. I've never once been defrauded when using a credit card however I just got ripped off by a PayPal user. PayPal took 40 days to investigate the matter and sided in my favor, however they gave the other person plenty of time to clear out their account and since their balance was $0, PayPal would do nothing about it and I'm out the money I transfered to this particular PayPal user. It wasn't very much money ($65), but still, I feel cheated and I know it wouldn't have happened if I'd used a credit card instead or only bought from a merchant that accepted credit cards.
