PayPal --- lesson learned the hard way Guys,
I learned a hard lesson today and really got taken for a substantial amount of money. Sometimes if you sell a item the buyer will specify that they Work 6 days a week and wish you to not have it signature required. I had a transaction where the buyer stated he works 6 days a week and requested it NOT have signature confirmation. The package arrived and the tracking shows it arrived and he filed a claim through PayPal and was able to have the funds reversed. Long Story Short, regardless of what the tracking shows if it is of any value make it signature required regardless of the buyers wishes!! I say this all to keep any of you from being burned in the way that I was. |
Re: PayPal --- lesson learned the hard way Very sorry to hear that! Maybe you could post who the scum-wad is, or at least a close location. Again.........sorry ya got "took"! DD

Re: PayPal --- lesson learned the hard way seems like there is always some a hole out there trying to put the screws to someone
|
Re: PayPal --- lesson learned the hard way This was not a FordBarn transaction, but I rather just posted it as a helpful warning. Sad there are so many crooks these days.
|
Re: PayPal --- lesson learned the hard way Get hold of the transport company asap and find out who delivered the parcel.
They can tell who was the last person holding the package. If he remembers the delivery and handing it over to someone...file a fraud case ! Having him as witness... With a lot of questions asked the buyer might find the parcel again.... |
Re: PayPal --- lesson learned the hard way This was a Postal USPS shipment to Hollywood, Ca and the Post Office there can tell me no more than "yes it shows we delivered it"

I really dont see this as a paypal issue but a issue between a buyer and seller pay pal just handled the dollars and when the buyer requested they refunded his money.. I never get a signature using paypal , they pay me with pay pal and i ship the product when payment has been recieved. I have had a couple pay me but take their money back for one reason or another , i hate that when it happens as it may not have anything to do with me or the product......but it happens........ I assume you wont get the product back....then file a action with pay pal... |
Re: PayPal --- lesson learned the hard way The post says PayPal simply because PayPal has sided with the buyer regardless that the item shows delivered. This was not a issue of whether the buy was unhappy with the package, he claims it was never delivered. He literally through a phone call made it quite clear what he was doing.
It would be the same as if I purchased 25 distributors from you (this transaction would be around that amount), told you to mail with out signature required. I receive them, file a dispute through PayPal they take the money back from you and reissue it to me. Then I would get the items for free! All in all my mistake for not doing signature required at the buyers request. |
Re: PayPal --- lesson learned the hard way I have never requested a signature either. Never had a problem with the tracking info being disputed. One person misplaced the package. After I talked to him on the phone and discribed the package he double checked and found his wife had put it in the garage behind the door and did not tell him about it. Rod

Re: PayPal --- lesson learned the hard way Another reason to transfer money out of the linked PayPal to Bank account...PP can't take it back, if it's not there.
|
Re: PayPal --- lesson learned the hard way Well, I have shipped over 24,000 packages in the last 3 years and this was the 2nd most expensive and the first time I have been taken like this. By the way Mike B My PayPal acct was nearly empty at the time this happened it now has a huge negative balance.
|
Re: PayPal --- lesson learned the hard way That is just sorry, that is all there is to it. I have been lucky and the wife works for the P.O. so she makes sure signature required goes on everything.
|
Re: PayPal --- lesson learned the hard way Having been in Hollywood, I wouldn't be surprised if someone stole the package off his doorstep. But it sounds like he admitted the scam on the phone??
|
Re: PayPal --- lesson learned the hard way I've had several items lost due directly to the USPS. The postal services used to be the finest in the world but no more. If a customer of yours can't pay or play with the shipping you want to use then you don't need them as a customer. If you use USPS, you HAVE TO ask for signature upon delivery. This protects two ways. One against a dead beat customer and the other against the USPS.
|
Re: PayPal --- lesson learned the hard way Yes, and as the topic states a lesson learned for sure. The buyer did say through our last phone call "tough deal you cant do anything" and basically admitted to his lie. Such a shame. It's not about the money more so than the principal and learned anything of value needs a signature even if it's a deal breaker.
|
Re: PayPal --- lesson learned the hard way Do you have an email or similar where he askes for no signature delivery ?
If so send it to Paypal. If he asked for it...his loss... |
Re: PayPal --- lesson learned the hard way No this was all spoken over the phone. Seems as though I am on the losing end. This is not to bash PayPal, as PayPal is a great service.
|
Re: PayPal --- lesson learned the hard way shame on paypal items were delivered they had no rite to refund the crooks money,i once sent a postal money and the person said there never received it,went to post office and they said I would have to wait 3 months and then they would put a tracer on it for 3.50 the item were not worth the trouble...there all a bunch of crooks
|
Re: PayPal --- lesson learned the hard way May have been stolen off the porch?
Happens a lot. |

Re: PayPal --- lesson learned the hard way I only like to think that guys like this and other scammers that many on here have mentioned in there past will have their day, and what goes around comes around.

Wow, you're doing big business, not like many of us who could live without PP. |
Re: PayPal --- lesson learned the hard way Quote:
I am sorry you of all people got ripped off. These are the types of folks that ruin things for those of us who choose to trust and treat folks accordingly. By the way, simply because there is a tracking number and it shows the package was delivered no way is proof it was delivered correctly. Unfortunately, the package can be dropped off three streets over,, the carrier swipes the bar code as "delivered" and it's a done deal. In your case, it is quite apparent you dealt6 with a dirt ball. However, folks need to realize "tracking" is NO guarantee the package got to the addressed person. |
Re: PayPal --- lesson learned the hard way I would think since its interstate commerce fraud that perhaps you should contact the Office of the Postal Inspector.
|
Re: PayPal --- lesson learned the hard way Mike,
I do agree and this was a huge lesson learned for me. This easily could have been a delivery mistake and I wouldn't be so upset. But, in this case when dealing with a scumbag had I simply required signature he could have not gotten away with it. I usually would require a signature but was requested not to. Shane on me and shame on him. |
Re: PayPal --- lesson learned the hard way Quote:
Not true, I'm afraid. PayPal requires a credit card number for back-up in case bank account or cash reserves are not sufficient. |
Re: PayPal --- lesson learned the hard way eBay screen name please, I would sure like to add him to my blocked bidder list!

Re: PayPal --- lesson learned the hard way Doesn't us banking have Interact e-Transfer

Re: PayPal --- lesson learned the hard way So very sorry to hear your story. Being manipulated in any deal is just wrong. As long as you have his address you might as well have that 2 tons of rotted manure delivered to his driveway.

Re: PayPal --- lesson learned the hard way Quote:
I am curious if this deal involved early Ford parts? I hope I don't end up dealing with this character...or think he is "one of us". Neal |
Re: PayPal --- lesson learned the hard way Quote:
No, only to be verified...I used my daughters PP account when buying/selling. Her account is linked to a checking account, once funds are in her account, we transfer to another account. We never used her ATM card number for anything, just the checking account we set it up for. This was maybe 8 or 9 months ago, things may have changed now? |
Re: PayPal --- lesson learned the hard way No, although 99% of my shipments are, this was not Early Ford parts.
|
Re: PayPal --- lesson learned the hard way So sorry you got taken. Paypal, (and Ebay etc.) buyers make these companies work so great protection for buyer, but very little protection for seller. A seller must ship with signature required or it's a risk.
PS, do not post this bastard's name. You don't need a defamation suit on top of everything else. |
Re: PayPal --- lesson learned the hard way with signature required can't anyone sign for it? and worse......sign any name?.....or is it required that the person named on the delivery ticket be the only one to sign?
