Re: parts sold to lcwarriors
I know exactly what 454stepside is talking about. Pay Pal is a pain to set up and keep safe. I have seperate checking account just for my Pay Pal account. That way if someone hacks my Pay Pal account (which has happened) the most they can get out of it is the $25 I have in there just to keep it active. So when I buy something using Pay Pal I transfer just enough money over from my regular checking to my Pay Pal checking account to cover the charge. Also when I receive payment through Pay Pal I imeadiately transfer that money to my regular checking account and wait to make sure pament has cleared before shipping out an item. My old bank (Chase) started charging me $10.00 a month just for my Pay Pal account that Pi$$ed me off so I changed banks to keep my free checking. That means opening a total of 3 new accounts - my main regular checking account, a new savings account and my Pay Pal checking account, setting up new direct deposits for the main account and closing out my old Chase accounts.
A word of caution on accepting money orders. I ONLY use and accept US Postal Money Orders. If someone screws you using a US Postal Money Order it's a federal offense and just a threat of turning it to the Post Office gets immeadiate results. And believe me I would follow through. Just the threat of going to the Post Office and filling on my end got me my money back on a part that supposedly shipped out 3 weeks prior.
As 454stepside stated I would much rather work on my stuff than deal with cheats and liars and all that is involved just to get paid for a few items I sell. Heck, I've even been burned on some items I gave away. All I wanted was the cost of my shipping and the shipping label on the box from the Post Office shows exactly what I paid for the shipping. Not only did I NOT get my shipping money, a month or so later I saw my items on eBay for sale. And this was from a fellow member on my Pontiac Site.
