I will buy.
Will offer $540.
Escrow will provide no benefit with such a paypal deal. You either trust me to not charge back or you dont.
Let me know.
Cheers
Correction: Escrow will prevent the recently popular scam whereby the seller insists that you send first, using the excuse that, "It's PayPal, so if I scam you, you can always dispute the charge." However what invariably ends up happening is that once the scammer receives payment, he will off load the funds to a VCC and keep stalling you (ie. "My wallet is still syncing", "I lost internet connection", "I'm in the hospital right now", etc.). By the time you actually get around to initiating a reversal, he has already cashed out and has moved onto his next account.
The end goal here is to not only make sure that
you don't get ripped off, but also that the scammer doesn't get a dime.
Yes you are correct.
I guess I should of elaborated and mentioned in the post that in a 'newbie and senior' paypal deal you wont get the senior member sending 1st to a newbie. In that scenario an escrow wont add anything. Either an alternative to paypal will need to be found or the newbie will have to trust the senior member.
In pms to the op i mentioned that if he was legit wanting paypal, he should only deal with trusted nembers of this forum (whether that was me or another of the senior members) but to stay away from newbie/newbie paypal deals.
He chose to pass up my offer as well as two previous offers from trusted members and did his deal with another newish member. It happens all too often. This is despite good warnings all over this forum to new members (such as from yourself) about protecting against potential scams.
