Christmas Shopping on PayPal
Tis the season to be pleasin :) - Ebay is tauting their PayPal protection plan. When you buy on Ebay , you are protected , right ?
Well , not exactly. Here's how it works - you pay for your ebay item , using PayPal. Then , your item arrives and it's not what you see in the auction. The seller laughs in your face and sooo , you complain to PayPal. If you can find their phone number , that is.
PayPal states they will investigate. The seller lies of cource. Meanwhile , it is your responsiblility to return , at your own expence , the item to the seller with a tracking number plus insurance. Once this is done , PayPal refunds your auction price , less all shipping costs. Other wise , you do not get a refund , even if PayPal agrees with your complaint.
So , are you protected ? Not really. PayPal's protection plan looks good on paper , butt , that's ass far ass it goes.
Read the seller's feedback if they have less than 100 % rating.
There are a few ebay sellers that will give a refund and the junk being sold on ebay is growing everyday. Meanwhile , don't be afraid to give negative feedback. I'm not.
