VIPmeetSPL Posted November 14, 2011 Report Share Posted November 14, 2011 PayPal ensures both sides. If any side commits fraud Aslong as you do not gift money PayPal will help you retrieve money and trades...well that's a different story. There ur just out on a limb hoping both sides come through should be bad you both ship items at exactly the same time with a representative.

corey0928 Posted November 14, 2011 Report Share Posted November 14, 2011 This is why you don't trade anyone without good amounts of feedback. Or if they don't you make sure they ship first so you can recieve/inspect equipment but then again you'd need good feedback in order for most people to ship first. Also never send $ as a gift since you lose all your buyer protection and PayPal will just tell you there's nothing they can do Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inm Posted November 14, 2011 Report Share Posted November 14, 2011 One way to do trades would be to: Send Money via PayPal (nothing too much, just something as collateral) Then, whoever sent the money sends their package You get the package, inspect it If it all good, the other person sends the money back, then you ship out their package. In a sense, you're both "buying" each package in separate transactions, so if the deal goes sour, PayPal is still there to back you up.
