Sometimes I hate paypal... I have had the something happen with BeTepok and paypal but he will square up with you though it looks like you already know that

BeTePoK · 10-28-2010, 07:47 AM

I'm expecting money to be sent within next 24 hours...

Waba · 10-28-2010, 02:13 PM

LOL, paypal... Thanks very much for your help and understanding BeToPok, all is well received second payment today. I know you have a very good reputation on the boards so I wasn't overly concerned. Thanks again for all your help.

Seriously US folks, isn't there something better than paypal that we can use? I've used revolutionmoneyexchange in the past. It worked excellent and charges no fees to senders or receivers.

@doreenjoy: this is exactly what paypal did in my case as well. Horrible, horrible company... I just hope BeTePoK's buyer isn't getting the runaround from paypal. USPS said they would hold the package for 48 hours without returning to sender. This was a big concern because I didn't want to have to pay for shipping again... But maybe in the future we should wait a few days for all the paypal stuff to clear (ie: to local bank) before shipping?

Anyone interested in the mint Blue + Sapphire M-Edge executive? I'd be happy with $140 + shipping!

BeTePoK · 10-28-2010, 06:28 PM

I'm glad that now all is OK

I got the reader today! Woo-Hoo! All in great condition and even with original box!
The buyer is very happy with it

Thanks!

Maybe I can fund a buyer for your another reader

Fantastic, BeTePoK, very glad the buyer is happy... You got it today?! USPS said they were holding it!

Ah, USPS and paypal...

Will send pics of the Blue to your email. This one is really nice, hasn't been used at all. Lawyer gave it a shot, wasn't easy enough to format books and then gave it away. Been in the box in my closet ever since.

Oh, the payment HAD cleared into my bank account before PayPal decided to reverse the transaction. They sucked the money back out of my bank account. Bastards.

I wish there was a better service. When I sell on FeeBay, of course buyers prefer PayPal because they have so much protection against bad transactions.

But sometimes there is too much protection

Waba · 10-29-2010, 10:34 AM

@Doreen: wow, I didn't know they could do that... I think I might use a vacant account to deal with paypal from now on.

Also, paypal protection is a joke. I had a dispute where I bought a stolen gift card (be very careful on this people, I have learned my lesson!

) on ebay where I was clearly in the right. I had a signed letter from the store explaining the gift card was purchased with a stolen credit card, AND I got a police report... Paypal still denied me! Luckily my credit card reversed it. Paypal >

we need to find something else...

BeTePok, sent email with pictures of Blue PRS-505

I bought something on eBay and it wasn't in the like new condition it was advertised. I contacted PayPal and they gave me back my money and said I was able to keep the item.

This was after going round and round with the seller. The seller just ended up giving me the item for free hen he could have been nice and offered to take it back.

@Jon -- Yes, PayPal almost always sides with the buyer.

Dishonesty can go in both directions. I sold an expensive silk scarf on FeeBay ($360), and the buyer returned a different scarf. PayPal sided with the buyer and I was out $360 and a designer scarf.

Back on topic -- I appreciate that BeTePok was honest enough to make good on the transaction, even after PayFoe pulled their nonsense.
