[QUOTE="5pt56, post: 4050826, member: 43201"] PayPal is the worst of them all. People think when you send goods and services you're protected as a buyer. Wrong. That flat out isn't the case. The user agreement that you all accept and don't read the fine print says that PP, at their discretion and without cause or reason can deny any fraud claim whether you send it goods and services or not. It's a false security that everyone has with PP G&S. I can assure you that if you buy a handguard, red dot, ammo or any other "sporting goods" and you tell PP that is what it was for then your claim is getting denied. I've been there done that and so has several folks that I know directly. The only way your electronic payments are protected is through due diligence to vet someone ahead of time that has upstanding feedback and positive ratings on this or any other forum. If you've never done business with them then ask for a piece of paper to have a code, today's date, and their username on it with the item you want to buy. Then PAY CLOSE ATTENTION if it's photo shopped. You'll always be able to tell around the edges if you zoom in and look very close. If they aren't willing to have a phone conversation, the payment email doesn't match the email they are using, etc. I usually ask them where they are shipping it from and then see if the number matches. (Mine does not so this isn't all encompassing) but it is several examples of how I compile info before sending money. All lessons learned from loss of my own hard earned dollar. YMMV. [/QUOTE]
