I just had a problem with Paypal, the post office didn't deliver a $289 item I sent so they gave the buyer a refund & now my Paypal account is in the red because I can't possibly pay them the $289 back. So I decided to try to raise some money & sell stuff on Tfieds. Because of the Paypal problem I can only accept money orders.
I just noticed this warning on all my ads: SCAM ALERT: Beware of Sellers that do not Use PayPal - Paying by Western Union, Wire or Check is NOT Advised! What the hell is this about? I'm not trying to scam anybody. my ebay account is 100% positive & over (100). My Tfieds account looks like this: Number of items8 People who have contacted you:1 Number of items sold:0 Number of AD hits:289 Average grade (this seller):0 Average grade (on ADs from this seller):0 289 fucking views & only 1 person interested. I have 8 Transformers classics listed that would all be sold on ebay in no time. So WTF? Does Paypal pay all these sites to scare buyers away or what? They control everything. Money order used to be the main way to pay before Gaypal came along. Now you can't possibly sell anything unless you accept fucking Paypal. Now I'm crippled because of that 1 item they decided they didn't want to deliver. I'm gonna have to lay low for a while & start up a new Gaypal account in the future. The post office either didn't deliver the item or the buyer received it but said he didn't. I don't know for sure. But I did what I was supposed to, I shipped it out & gave the post office money to do a job. How can Gaypal hold me responsible? I can't babysit the package all the way up to Canada.

...it starts quietly, slowly...
then how does liberty die? with the sound of applause. (sorry, watching star wars on Spike TV) basically, BOTH SIDES (sellers and buyers) have gotten so dishonest (or the Appearance of being dishonest) that Paypal has taken over as the "money police" while at the same time, silently making a profit.

i agree man. paypal is very crooked. I stoped using ebay because of them. i rely on the boards to buy n sell anything anymore. Its harder and takes more time but at least im not forced to use paycrook.

As long as the tracking number shows it was delivered you shouldn't have a problem.

With that much money involved I would have insured it or used UPS or Fedex.

You can try Alertpay or Google Checkout. Did you send the item international priority?

anything over 100 its heavily advised to only ship priority international. this way if this happens someone besides you is responsible. If the post office cant prove it was delivered then the insurance covers it and you are not out so much (you can add insurance to prioirty international but the first 100 ish is covered free of charge).
Only time i bend the rule on this is if i know the person im sending it too. An expensive lesson to learn and i really do feel for you. if you get away with creating another paypal account just remember the above to avoid this from happening again good luck
