Quoted from dgoett:I have done F&F paypal for multiple hundreds of dollars MANY times in Enlgand, Colombia, Sweden and lots of other EU countries [big Iron Maiden collector]. Never got stiffed a single time. Maybe I'm extrememly lucky or a good judge of character.
So, if what tayamo says is true [message 33], I don't want to pile on his problems and get paypal involved. As I said before - I've written off the money and part - just didn't want others to throw money down the same hole, too. I certainly wasn't BASHING him. C'mon.
As Judge Judy would say, you have to have clean hands. When you cheat the system using PayPal's Family & Friends, as previously mentioned, you don't get the protection benefits that they offer. How do you think they make their money anyway? If they don't make money, they can't provide a service. You don't work for free. Why should they? The guy has responded. If he makes good and you get your money back, I think you should reflect that in the header of the thread.
