buyer safety and marketplace regulation - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Not trying to front for PayPal but the only safe way to deal with people on here is (if your a buyer) have the seller send an invoice. Although the seller will be charged a fee, PayPal will protect the buyer by holding onto the funds until the item is shipped and delivered.

Although financial responsibility is the responsibility of oneself, camaro5 representatives need to step in and educate people on online marketplaces such as the one here present, perhaps even regulate it to some extent. Many people have been ripped off by people who joined recently with their only post being one regarding the sale of some big ticket item . I believe blocking people from selling until they reach a certain post count could be one way of regulating sellers in the marketplace. Perhaps A sticky on PayPal invoices and other means of monetary transfers would also be extremely beneficial to members. The fact that there is no information or regulation of peer to peer transfers in the member marketplace is what is attracting so many criminal scammers lately.

Bottom line is if you're the buyer, never EVER give money to a non sponsored seller without some sort of security such as PayPal invoices.

Stay safe friends

I'd be more aware to BEWARE of you.
When you attacked user DROTTIE on this site, claiming he ripped you off when EVERYONE responding pointed out that, in fact, it was YOU that were in the wrong... YOU sent out private messages to those who responded on your thread.

That dude has problems -

And for everyone's information - If the seller is a verified member of Paypal, then Paypal does NOT hold the funds until an item is shipped!! If I sell you something, I can withdraw the money from my Paypal account just as soon as you send it to me. So can any verified Paypal member.

Will Paypal protect you if you file a complaint? Sure they will. If you're interested, go read their policy. But know that member JUST is wrong. He is passing along incorrect info and advise. The only time Paypal holds funds is when the seller is not verified. Then the money is held for a certain time frame. And is it not listed as "Pending." Paypal invoices have nothing to do with buyer protection. As long as you are not "gifting" the money, you are protected. "Just" just doesn't have a clue.

Lol I love how he says "Stay safe friends" wonder if he is all gonna PM us the same thing. Also if you're never going to trust a non sponsored seller enjoy missing out on really good deals. BTW if you got your ass chewed out for messing up once, why are you taking that experience and turning it around in a way that makes it seem like you didn't mess up, you were clearly in the wrong by accusing someone for nothing, way to go, you made another thread that makes you look dumb. Notice how I worded that in a sort of appropriate manor instead of pming you what you said xD.

We've had a wave of dbags here lately. Glad mods are suspending accounts.

i2disturbedSS · 08-23-2015, 12:00 PM

This thread was made after someone got scammed by "smoke". Op might of had good attentions but he just didnt understand the full policy/process when he went to buy. Also patience and respect.

BluePhoenix · 08-23-2015, 08:54 PM

No this thread was made after the nut case OP went off on a good member. See his thread below, nuff said. I'm sure a mod will come along and hit closed button on this one as it should be.
