Would you loan money Via Paypal to a forum member?

It's really not a question of making friends - I see it more as doing the decent thing. I think of it this way - how much does it cost me to lend (just plucking an arbitrary figure from the air) $125 for (just picking a random figure) 8 days? The answer is sweet FA. So for me to charge say 14% commission is extortionate because it's hugely out of proportion to my actual costs. Even worse to seize the opportunity from someone who's obviously desperate for the cash.

 

I would certainly trust him if he had a good itrade ratings
or i would never trust

 

I would loan money to them also if they got good reputation.

 

Dude, do you ever read the OP?

 

Only if they were from Nigeria and wanted the money via Western Union.

 

I might if I have enough to spare...
If he misuses it, or does not pay back, i can always backcharge..

 

Oh yeah, me too.

 

There was one time I was really close to making a loan thread. I had a bill, and I had the money, but since I had to pay the bill by paypal, I had to wait until a money transfer cleared on it to pay the bill. Luckly I had something to sell on DP, and it sold in a timely matter much to my suprise. So that saved me.

But anyways I won't say I won't lend anyone money because of that situation. But I will most likely lend money to someone trustworthy, and I wouldn't expect the money back though. I wouldn't mind getting it back, but I won't lend money if I'm going to sweat over losing it.

 

I would lend up to $50, but only to someone that I've talked to several times

 

no, I wouldn't !

I've had members from here and from my site ask for for a "loan" b4 and I just laugh..
I can't stand beggars in real life, and can't stand it online

If someone wants 15$ they should WORK for it,, I can make 15$ in less then one hour easily..

 

There are alot of good people here. Thats not to say those who would not do it are bad.

I would not do it, I would ask the person to do a quick job for me for the $15 bucks.

I already loaned money to a DP member.

 

I would do it if I trusted the person. If the person didn't pay me back I would file with PayPal.

 

If its a trusted member. You pretty much have an incling of who you can trust.

 

not a chance, I have a hard enough time getting people that I know to pay me back

 

i have done so in the past and will do so again for a well established member.

 

Jerlene.net is a girl i think ?

------------
I loaned 2-3 DP members (not old members but the amount was small) and got my money back.
but
I can give big amount loan to only a old established member.

I would if I had been talking to that member for a while and the member was a respected part of the community. Nothing over $50 though.
