Thread: Damn paypal

I'm a big fan of Paypal and for the safety net it offers I don't mind paying fee's I've held a Paypal verified account link to my bank since 2004, on on the very few occasions I've had a problem I've always received a full refund, you won't get that kind of cover If you used a straight forward bank transfer.

I love a story with a happy ending!

Yes, you are. Quit it.

So I transferred some money into my paypal account so I could buy it and I've been waiting for it to clear since then.

I got home today and checked my paypal to see if the money had cleared yet... Nope.

And then I went to check that the razor was still there for the hundredth time since I first saw it... nope, someone already bought it.
I guess I have to wait until I find another nice Japanese Western(shortie preferably) for a price that I might actually consider paying.

I know I'm just whining and the other guy did buy it fair and square(if you read this, please take care of it and I have no hard feelings against you) but I wanted to get it off my chest.

You should have messaged the seller to see if you could click on BIN & have the money in a few days. A lot of times people will work with you. I've done that a couple times.

Good going Jamie! I have never had any problems with Paypal & if I did, they resolved the problem right away. I like it because it is secure. On vendors that accept it, you can select it w/o having to fill out all your information. It is usually a good way to pay for something. I use it on SRD & other sites as well. I have a verified account as well.
