i use paypal but mainly on fleabay, also used it for the different things including private sales, on here also but i think it depends how you do it? gift etc and all that, i'm sure the greedy cnuts on paypal won't return any cash if you do it as a gift? i'm sure someone will tell you more though

pay pal will always go with the buyer, dont worry, if you do get ripped off , pay pal will refund YOU and debit he account of the scum bag! so dont worry ! ATB FTS

Yea no gifts a proper PayPal transaction. A gift voids any refund

Is it a definitely that fox tails ?

pay pal always goes with the buyer ! 95% of the time, unless the seller can prove 100% that theyr in the right ! pay pal will always go with the buyer!

It is a little bit more complicated than FTS states. You have to return the item at your cost by trackable means. If the person the other side does not sign for the item, which they do, then it is not guarenteed that they will refund you.

 

If you are paying a lot for something that could turn out to be dodgey then pay with paypal but fund it off a credit card. Then if paypoo will not do anything, you can claim through your credit card as fraud.

if it looks like a dodgy deal then chances are it is a dodgy deal, although paypal and your credit card may well refund you it's always worth remembering the old adage "buyer beware" You don't get refunded for being a fool and as they say "a fool and his money are easily parted" Save your money, wait a while till you can afford the real deal and if it's a classy watch then you'll have something that will only increase in value or you can leave your kids in later life. We've all licked our lips at fantastic deals that seem to good to be true and 9 times out of ten you end up getting burnt

Haha a fool and his money are easily parted I agree if that was the case I whuld of just gone ahead and bought it with out enquering and the watch is advertized as the real the real deal hence the price its a grand cheeper online than in the shops local to me I just wanned to make sure my arse was coverd as I prefere cash deals face to face not into the internet buying but sadley a lot of the best deals are on the internet these days

yep best deals are on the internet, mate of mine bought festival tickets for him and his friends on the internet via paypal, seller pocketed the money, closed his fake account and walked off with 700 quids worth of dosh from my mate alone, hard to trace especially if they piggyback unprotected wifi connections. Good luck though it could be that one real deal we're all searching for!!
