WHICH MONEY TRANSFER IS SAFER

[braxton]

this guy does not what to take a money order or pay pal for some parts that im trying to buy from him. he only want to use a western union transfer or a money gram transfer . which is safer for me

braxton carbs on the way, paypals the safe'st and im still waitin for the 2

[Gargamel]

neither, if he/she won't take a postal money order then It's most likely a scam. If you western union money and he/she don't send the part then you can't get your money back. That's why the scams on ebay are western union only for payment.

 

I'd pass on the part

 

[FadedDreams]

Don't use Western Union for buying stuff from someone you can't trust.Once they know you sent the money and pick it up,your pretty much screwed if they don't send the parts.Theres not much they can do if that happens.If thats the only way they'll take payment,then i wouldn't do business with them.

I agree. Unless they take paypal, I don't bother. There are ALWAYS deals on ebay man. I would pass on it and just wait for the next SAFE deal.

fuckin scam...

[2strokesmoke]

for sure a scam

[dawarriorman]

Its a scam!!! Pass on this, and keep looking. Thats the only reason people try and use Western Union, and if you do get screwed, you have no recourse to get your money back.

[BigRed350x]

Scam, don't bother with it.

[Gargamel]

100% scam

 

any seller that won't take Postal money orders throws a flag for me to pass on the sell.

 

is that from a seller on here? If so post name so we know to avoid, same if it's a ebay transaction.

3rd email

"Am sorry i dont want to loose again money gram is the other option",,,,

his name is mark george

[Cotton eyed Joe]

A USPS money order is THE SAFEST form of payment on both ends. Like the guy at the post office told me..."We'll come after you for $5.00"

Good enough for me.

 

If he won't take a USPS money order, send him another email telling him to piss up a rope.

 

Actually don't even offer it. Avoid the transaction altogether.

[RNBRAD]

Just the way this guy type's tells me he's a foreigner. And a name like Mark George, please!!! More like Marcus Jorge. I can smell that one a mile away.
