i have gotten thousands of checks and money orders. THOUSANDS. i have never gotten a fake yet. knock wood.but in 02 i was ripped off by a canadian through paypal.it was a double reversal and paypal says i owe them 275.00.that was the end of paypal for me.i have been selling parts a long time. right now it`s getting to the point where it is hardly worth it anymore.75 parts listed on e bay and i get 20 deadbeats, veterans and newbies either just outright tell me they ain t paying, or they never respond after using a buy it now.you can t trust anyone these days.it`s a real fuckin shame. i do sell parts overseas, england , belgium,and other places, western union me the money if you need the part sent out today. the freakin scam artist are everywhere.
