Re: safe ebaying
if he`s not taking paypal there`s a BIG chance that you will get rip off.
here`s what NOT to do when buying stuff on ebay, specially with low/no feedback sellers
1)personal checks
2)money order
3)Paypal opened up/base on checking accounts. when you are making payment with your checking account it acts like you are writing a check, even IF paypal allows you to dispute. The bank might not, and the $$ will ventually goes back to the seller. ALWAYS paid with a credit card account when using paypal.
4)bidpay
5)western Union transfer
THe safesty way when purchasing online is to use paypal with your credit card or pay directly with credit card.
Try to avoid any international transactions because you are almost 100% fucked if anything goes wrong becasue it is nearly impossible to file a international dispute, or it will take forever because it take time to transfer all those paper work back and forth, and once it pass 90 days from the purchase day there nothing else you can do but to take it up the ***

Autocockers are cool but its too much work. Im using a B2K4 with PDS. My friends have autocockers but seems like it get frustrating when the timming is off of is theres like leaks. Bushmasters are cheap shoots pretty fast Im happy with it. Another thing, that gun with tank at that price seems too cheap be careful.

Re: safe ebaying
Autocockers are ok. My friend had one back when we were in highschool years ago. That thing ripped compared to the spyders and tipmanns we used. Now I use an Ion, it works great, simple cheap and easy to work on.
You should check out www.pbnation.com there's some good deals on there. I've bought a few things without any problems, nothing as expensive as a gun though.

I know most of that but I thought if I paid with my cc through paypaland got ripped off the cc company would just say the money went to your paypal account fine, what you do with it after that isn't our problem. Is this true or could I get stiffed on a product and get the money back from the cc company. Oh and does anyone know if a debbit card is protected liek a cc like if I make a purchase and get fucked deos visa take care of it the same.

Re: safe ebaying
when you file a disput with a paypal account based on a credit card, you are filing the dispute with paypal, not the CC company. IT`s up to paypal to decide whether or not to refund the $. BUT if paypal do not accept your claim, you can TRY to file it with your CC company. it might or might not work.
And again paypal account base on debit card has almost no protection whatsoever.
The Debit card itself does not work like a regular CC. using a debit card to make purchase directly is the same as writing a check, the visa/master long on the card doesn`t do ---- but to make it compitable to most of the CC termainal. Some bank does provide these "protecting plan" against consumer problems at additional cost.(a few buncks a month?)

"PayPal will pool your funds together with funds from other Users, and will place those funds in accounts at one or more FDIC-insured banks ("Pooled Accounts"). You agree that any earnings on the Pooled Accounts will be the property of PayPal, and you will not receive interest or other earnings on the funds that PayPal handles as your agent."
That is the ONLY time any money is going into an account with an FDIC insured bank. When its in "your" account and you can see it there is no insurance. It could vanish and you're screwed and paypal will do NOTHING.

I really wish people would wake up and realize what kind of company paypal really is.
