Captain James Posted August 17, 2008 Share Posted August 17, 2008 Hey all. I was just wondering how safe it is to buy things (such as tickets) from people using your paypal account. Have you ever experienced any problems? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DButz65 Posted August 17, 2008 Share Posted August 17, 2008 Yes its safe, just make sure you buy from "verified" members so that everything is protected under paypals protection program. I had a charge of $700 to my account from someone , it was bogus of course, and they removed it from my account after a investigation. Thats the only bad experience ive had in 4 years on paypal.

mojobo Posted August 17, 2008 Share Posted August 17, 2008 its pretty safe and if someone is willing to use paypal that normally means they are reliable. If you do end up getting scammed and the person cancels their paypal account with no way of getting your money back from the seller then paypal does insure the purchases but wont give you all of your money back (i think like 75% or something like that would have to check).

dfitzo53 Posted August 17, 2008 Share Posted August 17, 2008 I haven't had any problems. How did you meet the seller/arrange the transaction? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain James Posted August 17, 2008 Author Share Posted August 17, 2008 I haven't had any problems.How did you meet the seller/arrange the transaction? On here of course! It is his idea to use paypal so I'm assuming from everyone's opinions that this will be a fine transaction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iMeast Posted August 17, 2008 Share Posted August 17, 2008 Become a verified member and make sure those you deal with (not on eBay) are verified members. It makes for a safer buying experience. HTTR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forehead Posted August 17, 2008 Share Posted August 17, 2008 Haven't had any problems yet, seems to work pretty well. I'll let you know if my opinion is reinforced on Monday, that's when my Penn State tickets are supposed to arrive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walking Deadman Posted August 17, 2008 Share Posted August 17, 2008 Never had any problems with Paypal..... and usually they protect purcahses within a certain amount. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoSkins8921 Posted August 17, 2008 Share Posted August 17, 2008 I've never had any trouble. There have been times where I either didn't get something I bought or there was something wrong with it and the seller didn't respond, and every time that's happened PayPal got me my money back.
