Okay. So I use a credit card through Paypal, and if I get ripped off, call the company and tell them to cancel the transaction?
Wouldn't hurt to call.Should I call them to make sure they will do this?

No, they got big by screwing customers.Reciprocity wrote:

yeah, I fixed it when I saw what I typed..Sup wrote:

The price is going to go up when the auction starts, so it will probably be more than $5.00{M5}Sniper3 wrote:

If you want a story, I bought a XFX 7900 GTX off of Ebay for ~$300. A registered mail package came to me a week later. (With registered you have to sign for it when you get it and when you sign you are saying you got everything that you ordered. I didn't sign.) Too bad it was thin as paper and didn't weigh anything. I took it to the postmaster and had him open to show what I already figured, it was empty. So, I filed a report with Paypal and Ebay and got my money back. Not too much hassle.And file a report with Paypal and Ebay.nukchebi0 wrote:

Okay, thanks too.they'll tell you to contact paypal first. paypal will jerk you off, then you go to your company. but 99% of the time you will be fine. Ebay didn't get so big by screwing over customers.
The action has already started, but I didn't check how much time was remaining.nukchebi0 wrote:

Not much more then you tell them, "Hey! I didn't get my stuff!".One more question concerning this. How does either paypal or the company verify that you were ripped off?
It varies. Chances are, you have nothing to worry about.nukchebi0 wrote:

Doesn't that make it really easy to defraud the companies?{M5}Sniper3 wrote:

But, for example: If you paid to have it arrive Priority Mail, and it doesn't show up after like 2 weeks with no contact from the seller, then I would file a complaint with PayPal. If that didn't work, I would call my credit card company.

Well, if your doing it every other week they'll probably catch your scheme. Evidence helps, like how I went to the postmaster and got him to open my registered mail and verify that there was, indeed, nothing in the envelope.nukchebi0 wrote:

That is why there is an investigation. It takes some time. I don't know how much though.nukchebi0 wrote:
