Scammer Alert Update: Do NOT Use Paypal

    Hey Guys

    I posted a thread here the other day to inform you all that I got scammed out of $190 USD on this forum for a domain I bought, but never got. Anyway the I still do not have my domain and never will, BUT I thought you might like to know that I contacted Paypal and they refuse to get my money back as they do not cover Non Tangible goods.

    Domains are non-tangible so I warn you to NOT pay using Paypal for domains to any seller on this forum that has a low or non existent itrader feedback, and also consider using Escrow for your payments. Seller with no itrader record should not expect payment before pushing the domain!

    We are really sorry to hear about that, but we can not blame to paypal, you shouldn't send the payment at once. I suggest everyone to use something like a advance payment and sending rest after receiving the domain or ask the seller for push the domain first..

    I would like to get the seller to push first but they end up as paranoid as the buyer and refuse to, so leaves us all in a tight spot!

    Yeah, paypal wouldn't give me my money back last month when I paid a guy on DF to update the front page of my site. He just sent them a bogus mail ID that said like "mail ID 13458276345rtenk: mailed disk" and they took it. the guy never sent anything, and the mail id wasn't for any known mail company. They just said, "hey it's a digital product, good enough for us!"

    I'm beginning to not like dealing on DF...

    Perfectly understandable, bad situation..
    Next time, try adding something in the note with payment lik...

    Payment for domain name. Domain name to be received/transfered after payment complete. Something like that..

    Hope you get it back somehow...
