to buy stuff it's pretty much faultless

if you are selling however, it's a fucker, just make sure it's empty at all tiems

pay pal is brill spent 780 in honkong with it and another 200 on some other shite that some one helped themselves to

got my money back eventually but taken 6 weeks left it to the TSB to sort it out they had scammed my account and used my bank details thankfully the TSB spotted it and froze account

was a real pain tying to pay the gas bill wih no bank cards but gave me a reason to make the robbing gas company wait for there Ł380

so why is it a pain to sale stuff on here with?if someone wants too pay via paypal?whats the difference between this and a bank transfer?and yes i aint got a clueas i have never used it before

the experiance ive had with selling is you can sell something take payment via paypal . the buyer can get shitty for what ever reason (maybe not your fault) or just say a item didnt turn up . then they claim it back . it goes in their favour and you end up cash down and them still having your part.

so how do you go about a bank transfer?or are these more risky?

paypal tend to virtually always side with the buyer and virtually never with the seller

ive never done a bank transfer to be honest dont know how they work.

in the 3-4 years ive used paypal ive only had 1 or 2 problems on there.

I had a little problem with my paypal account not so long back but with a phone call to them it was resolved...... however, I logged into Hotmail yesterday saying there was a problem with my account.... and to click on the link to resolve it (which I didn't cos I am now very wise to this one)

Logged into paypal and there were no disputes to be resolved..... so someone's on the scam again.

use a long password such as

Caps and normal

E.g. EFRB14567889j45

paypal has a fraud department that if your account is being used they call you and ask if a large amount is being paid out, if moneys where taken out that you can prove was someone else then they will repay the money back.

i paid out 4.000 and got a call from paypal saying that a trasaction as being made of that amount i had to conferm a few detals ect and then told that they needed to call as this amount was large

that scams nothing to do with paypal tho, just scammers trying it on with false login pages

I'm never one to believe a singular source and would most certainly check it with something else other than search shield which runs AVG linkscanner which has been covered in controversy since its release.
