All,
I just wanted to share a recent incident with a member on here who responded to my Wanted to Buy ad for a rifle scope. The member contacted me through the messaging here and we spoke by phone and went back and forth through email. After negotiating on a price, he insisted on accepting payment through PayPal Friends and Family and would not agree to use the Goods and Services transaction type, even after I told him I would cover the 3% transaction fee to accept the funds. PayPal does not offer any buyer protection when using the Friends and Family transactions. I know most people on this forum have good intentions, but just remember there are always some out there who don't. I have messaged the Admin staff on here with the Contact Us message system this week but have not received a response.
